Thanks CMNM, your perspective kind of helps me see that there could have been more 'support' or actions by both of us. I assure you I was never abusive, nor did I ever drive my kids when drinking.
W has gone out to dinner with her friend 'Jon' who is in town. Nice fellow, has a girlfriend and lives in the Bay area. He was also at the 'teacher training' retreat in december. I'm sure he's heard an earful already on the phone. Maybe he's wondering how she was be telling people in december in the 'sharing circles' how I was 'her rock' and she loved me, and now she's telling him that she's 'done'. Assuming he remembers any of that.
He will of course support her in her choices. He'll see her 'happy' so that will prove she's made the right decision. He did that last time so there's no reason to think he'd get on her case about this being a bad idea. After all, she tried to make it work.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm going to pray that he looks at her and says "W, you're running away again. You know this isn't the right thing to do".
