I'm not sure why I keep coming back and reading things on this site. I'm not longer involved in step life. He left on 01/15. I'm not coping very well. I never have been able to handle this type of thing very easily. I am trying, but my thoughts are still always turning to him, and the kids. I thought going to an indoor water park w/my cousin and her kids this weekend would be a good thing to do - keep me busy, out of the house... instead it was terrible. All I did was look at the families around me and miss "mine" - which is no longer mine to begin with.

So apparently right now, SO and I are going through a "breakup" -- but he's still at my house, routines are all the same... it's very confusing. I don't want things to end, this is all his words/decision. HOWEVER, I think I'm just being an idiot and hoping things will turn around but in the end, will he actually try?

This is completely off topic as far as this site goes, but I don't know where else to get some feedback from people, so hopefully some of you have some insight on this subject and can help me come up with a solution.

Well, we knew it would happen sooner or later. Last night BM started texting about having the kids go to her school district now instead of ours. We live in different states, each on the border - so it's only like a 20min between the houses. Anyways, the kids stayed at their current school after the divorce, which is our district. I know SO doesn't want this for a few reasons, but the biggest being the shift in power if he allows this to happen.
