I now consider us separated and the kids agree. They said over and over I am not a fault, they do not blame me one bit. They are angry and hurt, 1st Christmas without dad. But strangely, Although I hurt like hell inside , I am at peace. Know it is a long road ahead, and feel we can survive, I am stronger and I have my kids around me supporting my decision. I was so concerned out destroying our family, I forgot or didn't realize they are stronger then I thought.
