I know what you mean.. It hurts to know my kids are going to have a life seperate from me.
My wife took my kids to a friends house the other night, and she was telling me how cute they were, and what hambones they were, etc. These are friends that are mainly her friends, and while I know them, i would never go over to their house now that my wife and I are seperating. So it hurt to think about, and I told my wife that it hurt to know that my kids would have a seperate life from me, and in the same manner they would have a seperate life from her. She got a little teary-eyed thinking about it.
And it just hit me how devastating divorce is for kids. They will have two seperate lives. Its one thing to take the kids somewhere without your spouse. Its totally different when it becomes a mandatory way of handling the children.
So.. I feel for you guys, and I guess thats why i stay strong, and keep fighting. Because I am part of a FAMILY. And while i may find some woman that may be able to make me happier, my family could never be happier split up. And my life is 90% family, 10% me. So the equation is simple. Make my family happier and my life will be happier.
