Quote: But that would mean that you're putting your kids into a broken home situation. Not the greatest thing for a 2 and 4 year old if you can avoid it.What do you do about the kids? Is there an alternative method?
Aren't the children already in effect, in a broken home? I stayed with my exH years longer than I should have because I thought it was the best thing for my daughter to live in a two-parent home...my daughter was one of the reasons for me ending my M. I didn't want her growing up and thinking that this was the way life was and that it should just be accepted...as I had done.
Your family is broken already right now...everyone focusing on the A. Your W and you. Unfortunately it is the children that despite all that we do to try and protect them, it is them that suffers in the end. I wish there was a magic pill that we could all take to wake up and realize what we are doing...because in effect we are setting examples for them as they grow up. I think FrankD is doing a suberb job as a father while his wife is emotionally not there...just look at the hell is daughter is going through...she rejecting her mother, she's angry and frustrated that when she needs her mother the most, she's not there to give to her daughter. Breaks my heart.
If your W will not go to MC then I at the very least suggest that you go or read every book that you can to help you with the children. Focus on them and take the focus off your W for now.
