walk away wife after 22 years part 3

Wish I knew the answer to that one. I've been carrying some of my guilt for 30 odd years and didn't even realise.

I think a persons support network makes a huge difference though (validate vs agree).

It comes back to the point that no matter how much it hurts us we can only protect ourselves and our kids. If we try and make them feel their guilt then we are 'causing' their pain. We have too much of an agenda to be heard.
