Ripken - WW filed for Divorce and I moved Out #5

[Ripken8]

Wrap up. Told the boys we were getting divorced. Ultimately I told them that there were things we just couldn't agree on and while mommy is an amazing mommy and daddy tries to be an ok dad, we just aren't good at being a husband or wife for each other right now. Told them numerous times it wasn't their fault, that we loved them and that we both would always be there for them. Also told them we were selling the house.

Youngest brushed it off, he hates uncomfortable moments. Oldest took it hard and started crying. I eventually did too. When he looked at me with tears in his eyes, I just felt like I failed him or let them down.

I now know that's not the case, but it was one of the toughest things have ever done. I actually, strangely feel better now. No more hard convos in the near future it seems.

Spoke with ww after and told her thanks for letting us tell them together and being a team. I appreciated it. She shared she went to the doctor today, has been sleeping like hell and is vitamin deficient and ill. She did look like chit. I told her I was very sorry to hear that and I really do hope she takes care of herself.

She said she was trying.
