Re: 2022 was a fucked-up year

That was the hardest news I've had to break to anyone.
But it's done

Re: 2022 was a fucked-up year

That took a lot of courage.  Please reach out when you need reassurance.  We've been there and done that. ❤️


No - It's not too late. It's not hopeless. Even there, there's something I can do. I just have to find the will. Ikiru (1952), film directed by Akira Kurosawa

Elle,

Head held high, face in the wind..       These spouses despite their physical presence left us long ago with there actions and words.     
Wishing you courage and peace.

Re: 2022 was a fucked-up year

Thank you all. I don't know where I'd be without this Forum

He looked at me when I said "I've been to a lawyer. I want to separate" and said "I thought this is a conversation you and I would have" as my son sat looking awkward. My son said "I know you've been having problems" then looked at me "and you've confided in me too" Which would have come as a shock to his father. 
It's not all 'out on the table' yet. I still have 2 of my children to tell, which I'll do today. 
I  feel numb. Like I've walked through a door and found myself in a place that's foreign to me. The one thing that I keep hearing in my head is "you can't go back now"

But it is not the door to a walled garden. Having opened it you can breathe deeply and see and feel the world around you.
