I posted on blended families also. After 6 years of marriage and years of fighting and failed attempt of counseling my DH and I separated today, of all days. We have 2 young kids, house and debt. I am a SAHM and FT student after a few years of teaching before kids. Due to holiday weekend I have to wait until Tuesday to speak with a mediator.I am wondering what happens next, custody, alimony etc.I do not want to share a house with him while this pans and fear for my safety due to past threats. We have a house with numerous guns, weapons etc. I am uncomfortable. Advice, help?
