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
