Hi Perseverance, I am so sorry that you have to break the news today. That has to be absolutely heartbreaking. I will be thinking about you.
Does your wife know how much of a financial strain she is putting on you? Is there anyway she can start working full-time? It sounds like she is reaping all of the rewards of being divorced.
As far as hope goes, I know how incredibly difficult it is to be hopeful when everything around us looks hopeless. I definetely do not have the answers, but maybe we need to find a way to be hopeful about our futures regardless of whether our spouses are there or not.
Try to hang in there and I will send some peaceful thoughts your way.
