Thanks wfm and H61. I appreciate the feedback.

So the drama continues today. My W has never really had a mother. I touched on this on pg 1. She considers a friend of her's who is about 20 years older as the closest thing she has had to a mother. My W called her this morning, and the friend called me afterward. I have had some discussions with her over the last few months, so I wasn't surprised by her call. She feels I'm doing whats best for me, and not whats best for the kids. She let me know my W feels the same. I let her know thats not the case, and I feel this is whats best. We agreed to disagree.

My concern is that she believes a D needs to happen, and she is a very opinionated person. She is so concerned about the fragile state of my W, that she feels the M is toxic for her. That I am the cause of her pain. Just like my W, she believes I don't think the D is coming. I told her I do, but I can't do it. My W needs to do it. This is her decision. She agreed and said she will help her take the necessary steps. My W has always counted on me to do the hard things. She even thought I would get the D moving forward. Now that she has help, I am assuming she will file now.

I'm trying to ignore the drama, but it is sticking with me today. Again, I am clearly not detached.
