Hi Tiddly - just managed to get on the 'puter and catch up with you (have to surgically remove Sir from the keyboard once a day so I can have a go lol)
I'm so glad the 'telling' session went well (see - the anticipation was the worst bit
) and you handled it so well, I'm sure they won't worry about coming to you when those strange questions occur to them in the future.
The next thing is to make sure the lawyer doesnt turn an amicable seperation into a war - make sure you and your soon-to-be-ex keep talking, not just through the lawyers (here speaks the voice of painfull experience)
Well done

Well my lawyer thinks he can arm me with everything I need to know in an hour and a half of his time... then it's up to me where we go.
It would be nice to just go through arbitration and sort it that way. Let's hope that's all we have to do.
Yes, the anticipation has been there for months and you were right, what a relief that was.
But then I guess that the kids trust us to be the reasonable people we've always been ... so why would we deviate from that?
let's hope the rest is smooth.
Thanks so much for your support. And everyone for your PM's and karma.
I would have found yesterday so much more difficult without it all.
