Jpeg - My kids are so confused. This came out of the blue. My husband has always been so firm on his stance that marriage is a commitment - you don't leave, you work things out. He's lectured them on this subject before. They also don't know anything about what is REALLY going on. They only know his version, which is that I didn't change when I needed to. Now that I'm making changes, it's too late for him. I don't want to bash their dad - so I'm just leaving it alone. I imagine they'll figure it out one day, but they don't need to hear it from me. The hardest hit are the twins, of course. They still live at home, were planning on going to college next semester. I hate seeing the hurt and confusion in their eyes! I can forgive him for what he's doing to me, but my boys? I'm really, really angry with him for that. I suspect they've started drinking. They're out again tonight.... They were so well-adjusted before this. He, of course, thinks they're doing great.
Zues - I feel you! How can an adult be so selfish as to put their kids through this? Me, me, me!!! I don't understand it at all. I always felt that by having kids, we were making a commitment to them, too. He and I had so many talks about this once upon a time. Now he "just wants to be happy." "They'll get over it." I'm so disappointed in his choices...
Thanks for reaching out tonight, guys...I'm having a bad night.
