Apparently I am to try to work out now a deal with my wife on what would be acceptable for us both.I can't see this working ,but I'll give it a try when the time

I recieved my papers on Saturday.it didn't surprise me.seeing that I had lived a separated life for three years.I continued on making my lunch as if nothing had bothered me at all.Sunday:Woke up feeling sick .from the heart a strange feeling like somebody had died.I questioned myself was it me that had left the nest, the home, the life of those around me.I tried to keep calm and try to think of other things.Monday:Finally read the paperwork.Who looks after daughter?..MOTHER who pays the bills?FATHER.I was so angry after 25 years it had come to this. I had to find a solicitor.Luckily for me
