Ok so I am planning to file next week, at this point no one knows I am filing for divorce especially my soon to be ex. We have been married for 12 years and me and my 2 children 13 and 10 have been through verbal and physical abuse. There are good days, bad days and sometimes there are more good then bad. We have been through 4 therapists and in the end its my fault because I am the only one who actually talks. He doesnt want to bring up "private" family issues. My children are in therapy for self esteem issues and also my son has mental disabilities. The therapist agrees that me leaving is better for the kids and for myself. So my lawyer is filing for temporary custody orders and also restraining order for no physical, phone or written contact with me. Once we file I will move out the next day while he is at work and he will be served later that day.
How do I tell the kids? What can I expect from them? I am scared and worried even though i know this is best for all of us. I have tried to leave before but there was no planning it was in the heat of the moment decision and then he talked me back. This time i am doing lots of planning and getting organized and I can afford to live on my own.
