ATL...that is how she feels RIGHT NOW. That could change but you can’t count on it. I know this is so, so, so hard. I remember feeling the way you are. You have to pull yourself together and stop focusing on the “she’s purposely tearing our family apart” belief. Like LH wrote...she is doing this to be happy. She believes this is her only shot at being happy. Step aside and let her take it because trying to stop her will only make her want it more...and her resentment toward you will build. Let her go. It is you only choice if you EVER want a chance for reconciliation. I know it’s counterintuitive. I know you want to hang on to her and the life you thought you would have with both hands. But you can’t do that. It will NOT get you what you want. Take the focus off of her and 100% on to you and your son. Yes...you will be around him less. It sux. Make the most of the time you have and go for quality not quantity. Be the best dad you can be. You can do this. Stay the course and keep moving forward without your W. When/if her feelings change, she will reach out. (((HUGS)))
