I know several people here where I live that have also gone through various versions of MLC with their XH
Their kids were also various ages
Mostly I see, the kids are ok yes they have some issues, but probably would have had some struggles anyway
I do strongly believe as long as one parent is available supportive and present--they are ok
Your anxiety and dread are normal it is a scary time--I clearly remember that
For me..I didn't know how I would earn money
We had a small business at the time of BD that XH was draining funds and blowing off customers he was running it into the ground..
The only thing that saved our business was my brother who worked there with XH My brother trained me and we managed-
and I have 2 children that I was solely responsible for One foot in front of the other here
We do not see a lot of reconciliations here on ths board, but there are some BUT we definitely see a lot of awesome, brave and wise LBS who always wind up winners in the end- so please trust in that and keep going
