Endeavour, I have not read your previous thread. I have been wrapped in my own drama and posting little lately. I will read it. I want to comment solely on this post. This is what I think.
I am sorry for the shock and drama you are feeling. I am sorry for what this revelation has done to your family. I am sorry for the crisis
This was a revelation and probably some of the first honesty you’ve seen in quite sometime.
Now is not the time to act, now is the time to contemplate actions. Now is the time to contemplate if and how much you can forgive, him and yourself. Now is the time to contemplate what is best for yourself and the children.
This cannot be done from a place of emotion. The work ahead regardless if you choose to R or D requires forgiveness. It requires calm consideration. It requires resolute commitment.
Your children are going through this also, they are watching, learning.
Find some space, detach from the emotion, breath.
