Just found out wife filed

[RobD70]

Just got this in my inbox:

I wanted to let you know that I filed the Original Petition for Divorce last week. I need to bring the papers by. I figured we might as well get the process started in the event that this is where we end up. At this point, that's all it is. If we decide to divorce, we will need to come up with an agreement on the assets and liabilities. We can't even file that for 61 days, and it doesn't have to be done then. We can wait up until 6 months if this is what we decide to do.

I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you. I'm just trying to get my feet under me and feel like I have some kind of control of my life. I'm even contemplating getting my own apartment in March. As of Sunday, Anthony is with me full-time. John beat the living crap out of him on Sunday. I had to take him to the emergency room because he had blood coming from inside his ear, it looked like his nose might be broken, a chipped tooth and bad bruising and swelling on his leg where John had kicked him several times. In addition he had choke marks on his neck where John was trying to choke him out. Since I have a child at home full-time now, I need to get my life stabilized and provide the stability and safety that he so desperately needs.

Poor kid, John is his father.

I'm seeing the IC in an hour. My first reaction to this is anger like "we had a stable life" but I don't expect her to see the logic in that. Not sure how I should respond, any thoughts?
