Separating Soon

[cat03]

my advice is to DO hold to to hope, dont' loose it! it's way too early. Even if ultimately my M didn't survive my x did come back after being separated for 8mths (he has mental issues, I'm chalking our D to that, mostly)
It's not over yet, sometimes you have to let something go to see if it was worth holding on to. Good on you that you didnt leave, she wants out then she should go.
Tell her you understand she wants time and space and that you are willing to give her that much.

Would she go to MC? did you suggested that? if she won't go, then you go see a C on your own to help you cope, being S is a life-sucking limbo that sickens a soul, so do try to talk to a C and GAL GAL and GAL.

Keep in constant contact with kids and keep all convos away from their little eats, they dont' need to know any details, other than mom and dad need some space to think,
Will pray for your family tonight, dont' give up as bleak as it might look, she might just need to see that the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence...
