 Kids and divorce - married twice
I've finally done it! I packed up my husband's things
and told him I need time alone and am filing for divorce.
He has left me many times over the last 20 years we have
known each other, including once when I was 2 months
pregnant with our second son. I have never initiated a
separation, until now. I feel very happy with my decision
and think it is a positive step for my future.
You all seem to have been where I am just beginning to
go. I need some advice on dealing with my kids and their
feelings over my initiating divorce. I look like the
"bad guy" to them as their Dad is playing
"poor me" and trying to get sympathy from the
kids and anyone he can. I can't help feeling guilty too.
I am not going to change my mind about my decision to
divorce though. Any advice on helping kids though
divorce? The advice on playing with them is very helpful.
We have been doing that and it is wonderful. Thanks.

My main suggestion is pick up every book on Divorce
(and coping with it) you can that seems useful, as well
as explore the resources available on the net. Nothing I
could say or suggest would be as useful and helpful as
getting insights and sharing from others who have been
thru it, and found the roads to healing and happiness
from it. Hope you get the support and caring you deserve
while you go thru this.
