Bobby

I am sorry to hear that your W filed for divorce.

Quote:
that she does not want to reconcilliate

This is how SHE feels right now. Time has a funny way of changing peoples mind. Right now though, your focus really needs to be on YOU. At the end of the day, you will remain.

Quote:
I just listened and told her that the door was opened if she wanted to come back in the future

Listening was good. Telling her that the door was open was good as well. I think you did really well with this interaction and you should be proud of yourself.

Quote:
I must say I am quite angry and upset at present

People think it is wrong to be angry. No - what is wrong is holding on to that anger. Holding on to the anger will just build resentment. It will drain you of YOUR energy. This does no good for Bobby or Bobby's kids. In order to truly heal you need to feel the anger, process it if you will. How do you plan to do this Bobby? What steps are you going to take to ensure that you release this anger?

Now I have to stay focused on me and my kids.

Bobby - the tendancy when your MLCer says that she has filed is to give up. Throw up the hands and say F it. The decision to "stand" for your M for YOU is one that you will have to make. Personally, I would suggest that you do not make any rash decisions right now. You are right to focus on the kids and Bobby - your kids will need to see the strength in you. It will be hard, make no mistake about it. Just know that you will be fine.

I am still going out with friends this weekend.

Good for you!

Have a great labor day weekend.

God Bless,
Eric
