Scott, I wish that I could chat with you personally. I feel so much pain and confusion coming from you. I am curious but know it is not right to ask why she has said she is divorcing you. I was the one who initiated the divorce in my case and I had a clear reason for knowing I could no longer live with my husband. The difference in my case is that I didn't and don't want to "punish" him for what neither of us could provide for the other any longer. My ultimate goal is for both of us to move on and have a chance at getting what we need whether it be with another person or on our own for awhile.
I am also a child of divorce and know the consequences. I have struggled through life and have learned to survive. Though it has taken awhile I have regained my balance and am learning to LIVE my life. Having experienced the struggles that I have has made me a stronger person and I am aware now that it gives me what I hope is a gift to be able to share my experiences in order to help someone else. You cannot put a bubble around your kids but you can surround them with the knowledge that they are loved and always have a safe place with you when needed. Don't know if any of this will help you but I am here and I do care.Hugs,
Toots
