My soon to be ex-wife and I have a wonderful 3 year old daughter (she has 2 mums). We are at the beginning of the separation journey. We both initially thought that it would be better for our daughter to stay living in her current house for now, as she's small, but then my wife would be with her the majority of the time. I need to look at moving out as I can't cope with living there and I don't think its good for my daughter as theres an atmosphere - we don't fight outright but my ex is snappy and snarky with me a lot. I've read about 'nesting' but thats not a long term solution and it would be expensive plus I'd feel like I was living in 2 houses - but would it be really harmful for our daughter to be living in 2 houses from the age of 3?
Please help! Feeling sad and overwhelmed
