Grumble....wow. Beyond wishing you and your kids all good things in this time, I wanted to send you the message I wish someone had been able to give MY dad when my parents split up.

As hard as it was on everyone, I knew every day that Dad loved me and was there for me, even though he wasn't in the same house. Even when work sent him across the country, in fact. More....even as I kid, I was so relieved to have two happy parents in seperate houses rather than two miserable parents in mine. I don't know anything about your wife, but I can only imagine that getting your space and your life back will make you a happier person and an EVEN better father (though I'm sure you're a star in that already....you obviously love them like crazy). He worried himself sick about us at first, and he shouldn't have done. There just wasn't anyone who could tell him it would be ok. I haven't got a crystal ball, but if my experience is enything to go by...this may actually be the best thing that could've happened.

Wish I could offer more, but I hope this helps a bit.

Best of luck with evereything...
