Infidelity/WAH, my story pt 12, D on hold

[Joe2017]

Sara, you have been dealing with this for a long time. Really. A LONG time. In-home separation is one of the hardest things I've ever tried in my life. I can't imagine 2 years.

I came here to DB with hopes of saving my marriage, but I realize that sometimes things just go bad. I'm good with that now and getting better with the idea every day.

I think you're making the right decision. If I am to be perfectly honest with myself, my MR was on a decline before I even realized it and now that I've started getting close to the other end of this tunnel I can breathe again. A big part of that is being away from WW. Things aren't GOOD, but they're not rock bottom either! A little bit at a time, right?

Your kids are going to be OK. It will not be easy. It will not be fun, and there will be challenges. But they are going to make it through. They will adjust. Kids are resilient, and even more so if they get support. It doesn't have to be perfect. They just need cuddles and love. They need to feel safe, and they need consistency (even if that includes a consistent parenting schedule). You be their rock, and they will build the foundation for their lives with it.

You can do it.
