"2. I am not going to allow the kids to become mentally ill from all of this." MLC is not a mental illness.
3. She did it all by herself, and the consequences are going to be 100% her fault." The situation should never be seen as all consequences being bad. It's something that the spouse feels they have to do. Like it or not, it's part of their growth.
qtx411, I get the raw emotion you're feeling right now. We all do. It is too early for you to understand that, but you will find your options opening up in all areas of your personal life.
There are many relationships that succeed. We are just the unfortunate few who didnt' get one. I hope one day you don't let this moment define you. Fall down 9 times, get up 10.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
