You did great this weekend..I hear so much of my sitch in yours...him needing to find himself...telling your kids..
It does not sound like there is alot of anger between you..that is great..if you want to piece your m back holding on to anger won't work..it was so hard for me when h moved..I wanted to call him so he would not forget me..but the wise people around here helped me...my h was on his "train" as he calls it..and all thebegging..calling in the world would not have changed anything..he had to do it himself..and as you know that was almost a year and a half ago..so patience is the big word here...but you know, you said there was a peace about your talk and his move...it is a wonderful time to find yourself...don't stop living..grow to your highest potentials...work on where you went wrong in the m.. and while I don't take responsibilities for my h decisions, I did play a part somewhere in letting my m slip.. About telling your kids..I know how you feel ..it made me sick, cause I thought they knew nothing about what was going on, but they are not dumb...our dd sat there with tears streaming donw her face, and s said nothing..but h did a good job of telling them that this did not mean d, that we need to get to know each other again...that h needed space alone..and above all that he loved them and would do anyhting for all three of us...so keep your chin up, it is hard for kids of any age to hear that their parents might d, but how you react and interact with them, and as I said before what you say, will all stay with them through the journey...gotta have faith that they will be ok.
