8, I know I can't speak for all women, but these are my thoughts on your wife. I cannot imagine "giving" up my children like she is proposing to do. Personally right now it does not say much for her character. We all know typically that it is the mother who retains custody of the children. When a mother doesn't retain custody of her children, immediately I have had bad feelings about her. Your W cannot be in her right frame of mind right now. You are being the responsible one. Do what you have to do to take care of yourself and your precious children. They need you now more than ever. I know you are up for it.
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. -- Bernice Johnson Reagon
