My greatest fear in all of this is about the kids. I know it will kill them to see him out of the house. You are right, there is nothing left between the two of us. It has been over for at least a decade. I was just too blind and busy to even think about it. But really the kids say things to me that make me think he is manipulating them into thinking bad things of me. And the kids know we hate each other. I am pretty sure he is leaving...he announced it several times in front of the kids and told me he is looking for apartments and they become available between May 15 and June 15th. And the only problem is what to do with the dog. He expects me to keep her at night and him during the day, but due to her breed, no landlord will allow that. I have also found empty boxes stashed away in the basement. As a response to an earlier post, I found out he is trying to get our daughter into a different school and I only found out by finding a pile of papers left laying around. So yes, I think there is a discussion that needed to be had about that. It is just another way he tries to push me out of their lives.
