That was his ten minute response.
How was he later? did he sleep well that night?
he probably mulled it through his mind for hours. <p>his reaction is thankfully mild. Sad it's mild, but at least you are safe. <p>Now what about your kids? I think you need to think foremost about the effect moving out would have on them. They need you, not just nearby and visiting, but THERE with them. Please don't walk out on them. I'm in your situation almost exactly.
