Kimmerz, I hope he learns too, but there are some that are comfortable in that zone and will continue to run because they were never taught to suck it up and accept that life has its ups and downs.
The "euphoria" will most likely last about 6-8 months and then the shine will begin to dull...but that's his problem, not yours!
You've got a good handle on your situation and I hope that everything works out for you and your children in the days to come. At some point, the divorce will hit you hard, but remember this...it is just a piece of paper and you are going to be fine. If you get angry, find a nice pillow and beat the crap out of it. If you have a flower bed that requires weeding, tackle it and get the weeding done. You will need to vent and that's where we come in.
Kimmerz, hugs to you today and I am very sorry it came to this.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
