The scary thing about being alone is the thought of starting over.
I'm a teacher and I see high school kids everyday from broken homes and trust me they have issues.
Thanks for looking out for me, I really appreciate your input advice.
Right now I'm so confused, my wife is the happiest she's been in months. Honestly she has been in the most depressed mood for 3 months. It's like a switch has gone off. Whatever this is, it's good for the for whole family.
With regards to moving on.....don't try and force something. I did this just to get the unhealthy stuff out of the way. The right person will come along if you focus on yourself. That person may be your wife, but it may not be. Keep working on yourself.
Divorce is common, and kids will get through it. Provide then the support they need. If they're not in counseling that would be a good idea. They will always remember this time and how much stability you are providing. That pays dividends in the future.
What I learned from watching W behavior is that good things happen over time, they rarely happen overnight or even after a week or two. Keep your guard up. Bad things.........they can occur at the drop of a hat.
