Starting over is hard. My husband and I separated when our son was 3 years old and he is now 7 years old. It took me about 2 years to get into the swing of single motherhood. It forced me to develop more friendships and I now have a small circle of incredibly supportive single mom friends. I've also grown as a person in ways that I never would have had I stayed in my dsyfunctional marriage. I sometimes still feel some sadness that my son didn't get the fairy tale happy two parent home, but I believe that he is better off with a peacefull home with one parent than a high conflict home with two parents.
Wishing you and your children all the best during this difficult transition. Things will work out for the best!

Congrats on such a huge weight loss! Just make sure it doesn't try to sneak back in.
Just goes to show what kind of a man he is ... or isn't ... leaving you to tell the kids on your own.
Good luck in the new house!!

MY RNY DIDN'T FAIL ME - I FAILED IT.
I am proud of the decision you have made to shed the dead weight. I know it was not an easy choice for you to do especially having to try and raise 4 children on your own but you are strong woman and you can do anything.
You will have many up and downs in the days to come but remember we are here for you to help you in any way we can. All you have to do is ask and I know that may be harder than it was to ask you husband to leave but please don't hesitate to turn to your OH friends. We are here for you and your family.

I too love my RNY

Thank you everyone for your kind and supportive words. My only regret is that I didn't force him to leave earlier.
I was concerned about trying to move this weekend and finishing packing the house by myself. But I now have a friend of a friend who is supplying me with a truck and moving guys. (Whew)
As of this morning I am down 121 pounds plus the 230 of dead weight and I feel freak-in great.
For all of you that has offered your support, thank you very much, don't be surprised when I take you up on your offer.
Now I just need to get my butt in gear and get a full time job to support myself and four little ones.
