Waiting to separate

[keepingupwiththejoneses]

H and I have decided to do a trail separation. We have made the decision that he will leave as soon as he gets the money together for a deposit and 1st months rent. We have also said we will do nothing further for 6 months.
I just don't know how to 'be' around him now. It is very awkward, we have agreed not to tell the dc until he is leaving, which I know is the right thing to do, ds2 is a huge worrier.
I would much rather he just left now.

How old are your DC, and how many do you have?

How long will it take to get the necessary funds together and does he have any friends/family he can stay with in the meantime?

DS1 , h's, is 19 and lives in his own place. DS2 is 12, has adhd and ds3 is 5 and has asd and learning difficulties. It should only take 3-4 weeks, I only agreed to it as I know there is no-one he can stay with. Things are pretty reasonable at the moment, I just can't see them staying like that.

Do you think he'll renege on the decision?

I doubt it. In the end it was his idea. I know it isn't a long time, just an awkward time.
