Tell yourself what you would tell your very best friend if she didn't want to live without her no-good cheating dbag husband. BE your very best friend.
Your kids might be the first in their peer group to have their dad leave but they will not be the last or only ones. Someday they will be helping their friends cope the way that my sons' friends are helping them to know that they will be fine. To know that they are loved and valued and that some things in life stink but you get through them. I sure do appreciate those friends who are a comfort to my kids because they've been there, done that, and learned not to define even a significant part of themselves by the fact that their parents don't live together.
Hang on and know we love you!!!!
