Hey all, I had my first telephone counsel w/ Steve today and it really went great!! I am particularly happy because Steve really nailed some points that show me I'm doing ok for the most part, but I have lots to learn yet.

Anyway, he told me that I needed to compile a good plan B now so that my WS would have a clear understanding that I am seperating from him for me since it hurts too much to be near him or talk to him. He also said that I will need to draw up a schedule for him to see the kids. This one is going to be a little tough because he's staying just down the street from us and can literally see them anytime. I don't mind WS being w/ the kids anytime but I know that in doing that there is way too much contact between me and WS. Please give me ideas on how to handle this matter delicately.

I would appreciate any advice that will help me to get straight to the point and avoid any unnecessary emotion.

Right now I am hurting so much and don't see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as marriage reconciliation. But I know that either way this goes I will have to be able to process this whole mess so that I will be able to grow.
