Hi Pickle-- Welcome to divorcebusting.com. No matter what advice you get on this site, your BEST advice comes from your DB coach. Your coach has known what else to ask you besides the stuff you post. She/he is the expert. Your coach has years and years of experience, the appropriate education plus training from Michele. Your coach is promarriage, and that will be the goal...for you to win your marriage.
That said, something I want to share with you is that divorce is harder on the children as they get older. 11 is a terrible age for parents to divorce. I know these things from literature, and I know them from experience.
Divorce is awful, and it should only be done if there is no other solution.
Follow your coach's advice.
