Hello all,

I have been very low, depressed, unable to cope with much.

I received an email from my wife today. I would appreciate some help with how to respond. Please good people, give me some guidance in this. I feel like i can't do any more than acquiesce...:(

Here is the text of the email i recieved:

Hi prometheus.....
Sticking your head in the sand and pretending everything is OK
Doesn't make anything OK.....only worse.
Since you told me that you couldn't bring yourself to move out, things have become worse....these relationships cannot begin to heal until we completely separate.
I told you that if you wouldn't move out then I will, so I have started looking for somewhere else to live....which, I'm sure you understand wont be easy....complicated also by the fact that I resent you for putting me in this situation of disrupting the children more than is necessary.
The stress of this environment is making us all unwell.....and it needs to stop.
The most loving, generous & magnanimous thing you could do for your family is to give them the space to be comfortable enough to begin healing.... I will not change my mind, this marriage has gone as far as it can.... I cannot sacrifice myself or the children to it anymore.....we deserve a happy peaceful environment.....and so do you.



Thank you for your continuing support,

prometheus
