Stay strong, E. I know that the thought and the word "divorce" are scary. But think how incredibly you did in that conversation. You recognized that there is nothing you can do say to change his mind, so you validated and got away. There's nothing you can do to control his thoughts or actions, but you can hold your head up for the way you handled yourself in the face of some of the most painful words you can hear.
And remember that it's easy to SAY you want a divorce. There's a long time between now and that day, and there's no telling what journey you will all take between now and then.
Go easy on yourself tonight, E. We're here for you.
