You've had an eventful few days. I hope you are taking gentle care of yourself.

It may seem daunting, and if you haven't yet, a consultation with an attorney is a must at this point. If he left your marital home today, it's the first day of legal separation depending on where you live. Had he left for treatment, its different. You need specific advice for your state and what you should, shouldn't, can and can't do.

Everything you are feeling is normal. Keep your focus on your future and your children's futures when your emotions get intense and overwhelming. All the best to you.
