Bless your kids' hearts! Are they used to living in another country? They need to be your main priority now, although that is very hard to do! My 17 yo is with me and sometimes it's all I can do to keep him from knowing how torn up I am! But, it's his senior year and I want it to be the BEST for him, so I suck it up around him for the most part.

For now, I wouldn't discuss anything about your marriage with her. Let her absorb her decision for a few days and see what she comes back to you with. Otherwise, she might feel you are smothering her.
