Next, make yourself a better person to be around. In the end, you two could end up divorced, but YOU WILL be a better person for all the work you do. Regardless of the end outcome, be a better person for you and your kids, not him.


I've got an IC and am working on some of the things about me that I know I need to change. After I read DR I stopped telling him that I thought this separation was stupid (yes, that was not the brightest thing I ever did), and that's when I sent him the letter acknowleding our role in our problems and agreeing that a separation (but not a divorce) could be a good tool. I think H was a lot happier/calmer after that. I made a mistake on Halloween and disputed his opinion about whether we could change our negative patterns (which was a negative pattern in itseslf) and I'm not going to do that anymore.
