      I have been married for 2 1/2 years to a man I have been with for 9 years. We have 3 children from 1 to 7 years old. He is a compulsive leaver, he leaves us about twice a year every year for 9 years. Now he wants a divorce. I am angry confused and consumed with feelings of inadequacy(sp) and failure. I know this is for the better but not what I wanted for my life and my children. I am here for support and advice.
