Kids are doing ok, they know something is going on so telling them won’t be a terrible surprise. As for when to tell them I was going to wait until after the holidays, I don’t want to bring down the holiday spirit.
As for finding a place I’ve been looking online and I’m going to set up some appointments to look at places. If all else fails I can live with my brother who lives about 45 minutes away. Him and his wife have been very supportive and have a spare room if needed.
My plan is to get a place in our town so I can see the kids. I’m going to take them out for dinner, or maybe I can meet S19 in his dorm and allow some space between me and W. It’s going to be an adjustment but I’ll focus on the kids and myself and let her keep going down the tunnel. As much as I don’t want this it might be a good thing.
