Re: What would you do?
Sounds like a tough call, really. When its your kids, your concern is about.
I'll bet your kids would like to see you happy.
I think most kids really want to see their parents happy, this case being just one parent.
Maybe they are old enough to understand the situation. I think if they had some understanding of it that they would be OK with it.
Their understanding would seem to have some importance.
Pursuit of ones own happiness is something very difficult to ignore.
I think deep down its something we all are relentless about. It gives us hope for the future.
I remember some neighbors when I was growing up that seemed like a normal family, and when we were all grown up the parents got divorced. As a grown up I realized that these kids didn't have a good environment where they grew up. You could see it.
I just realized that it could have been due to the unhappiness of the parents and the environment created by it.
The father actually told me that he and his wife waited for the kids to grow up before they split.
The kids may have been better off if the split occurred sooner. At least that was my opinion at the time.
Hope this is some food for thought and that you do find the happiness.
