Well it is one month on from separating with my SBXW. While I've had my ups and downs, I've found a new place to move in to, work has been getting easier, hitting the gym harder and seeing some good results with better eating and limited drinking.

SBXW has gone in to a destructive phase, and is drinking heavily, partying and planning her moving out with her AP. Biggest bit that I'm worried about is the kids and getting caught up in her BS. No idea how they will cope with the 50/50 when they have to stay with her and him.

All I'm focusing on is being a great dad and myself. I have my moments, but after hearing about what she is up to and the distruction she is causing to her friends, family and herself I'm happy I'm away from that toxic person.

No doubt the coming months will be tough, but just tackling each week with a goal and achieving it has helped.
