I have decided to not just give in. My D5 and my S4 are having a very difficult time and I will not roll over and see my family torn apart. If my W wants a D so bad then she will have to file the D papers. There are no legal grounds here in NY for our D so this will be a problem for her if I don't agree to mediation.
I will stand for my family and I take responsibility for my poor choices but she has a responsibility to our M and our family that she doesn't even acknowledge. All she says is that everything is my fault, she hasn't been happy for a long time, and her feelings will not change. OM or not, my family belongs together and I will not quit....Period!!
Me: 41 W: 40 D5, S4 Bomb Dropped: 7/8/2007 Status: W has moved out with kids 8/25/2007
