I'm sorry you are going through this too, lwb. I did start to read your thread but have not gotten to the end yet. It sucks. I still want to wake up and find it was all just a nightmare.

I got a book out of the library about the long term effects of divorce on children. I am a child of divorce and it actually helped me to understand some things about myself! For me, the knowledge is comforting and if this is something I have to go through with my children, I would rather be prepared and know what sort of issues I will be dealing with and how i can help them.

Should i share the book with him? Not like "here, you better read this" but more along the lines of "There is a book on children and divorce in my nightstand if you are interested in reading it." Is that a good idea or a bad idea?
