Separation in the time of coronavirus

I'm sending him links to apartment rentals.

I wonder if he thought he was backing me into a corner and forcing me to accept his “choice.”

Nope. That was the point of telling him it was over — to not be forced to just accept whatever he says and does, or lies about.

He's welcome to do it. Somewhere else.

I really need to see when the courts will be fully open and I can start to set things in motion legally.

And I've got to figure out how to explain to my kid that his dad is talking about leaving* the relative safety of this house, to travel over 500 miles to visit his sister, and that when he gets back, he won't be allowed in this house, and he won't be able to visit with him for at least 2 weeks. Awesome.

*After the initial announcement he made to me, my response to him was that he needed to find somewhere else to go when he got back. He's since changed the “probably going to go...” to “still not set” on making the trip.
