Awoken. Good for you for addressing it in no uncertain terms and letting it fly.
flowmom mentioned denial in, as I inferred it, its classic meaning of doesn't have a clue, doesn't want to face, admit, etc.

My take on denial has always been different. Denial isn't an unknowing fog one is powerlessly trapped in. One can only deny - to others -what one already knows to be true.

Sorry buddy, but perhaps ultimately inevitable and for the best in the long run, especially for those darling kids and the dad they so obviously love.
Prepare: it's going to get bumpy and ugly.
Endure. Maintain your integrity.
