Monday July 7, 2008

Get ready.  Yes, it's true:  

Worst Part of the Day
-
Will-O and I have decided to announce our amicable separation as husband and wife.  (This is clearly not workin for us...)  Hopefully our version of separation will challenge the notions of most as we are making this move out of a place of love and maturity--ultimately seeking peace and emotional health.  (I am so pleased we never claimed to be traditional--whew...)  Do not envision screaming matches and a big pile of clothes being tossed out a window...think along the lines of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore--without the breast implants or 20 years younger beau (damn). 
In the best interest of our best selves as well as the kids we plan to move forward without anger or resentment or mumbling under one's breath.   We want to be friends and put an end to the large pile of tension that is suffocating us.  We plan to actively co-parent and continue holidays and birthdays and vacations together as a family unit--we simply cannot be partners and share a domicile at this time.
It is a good thing, it is sad, it is emotional.  I believe it is positive...cleansing exhale...I may spontaneously throw up.   It is what it is.

Best Part of the Day-
The unconditional support of family/friends.  Wow.  (My mom being utterly '70's cool through it all...)
I am pleased it is not 1856.  
I am not scared.

you and billy should be proud of yourselves for doing something that is so hard and (hearbreaking) with love and respect...as someone who 'knows', it is not easy, but it WILL be ok, and I love you both and want you both to be happy...

I am totally against this - you should definitely get the breast implants!

Or is it too early for humor?
