Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group
I want to start something for those of us that were married for a long long time. I think that we face a little different issues than those who were dating for a few years or even married for shorter period of time. Being married for so long we have older children some have grandkids dealing with teenagers and their reaction to the divorice empty nesters dating after 40...
Your STBX is sick. To be told he wants a divorce is really sick. You are going to be sooooooo lucky to be rid of him.\
I won't even consider dating until I am offically divorced. To me that is adultry.
Try and get that information.
Perhaps I should not have said this deedee but kids will grow into the sum of the lessons they learn in life. We are all thier teachers even when we are having a bad day.
My kids are devastated. The girls don't speak with him, our son has minimal contact. They feel betrayed and confused that the man that taught them right from wrong, prayed with them and took them to church every Sunday, taught CCD and youth group and was a communion minister--could behave in such a way. They have lost all respect.
I know your kids are young but they are old enough to see that what their dad is doing isn't right. It will speak for itself. Just reinforce you values with them without condeming him. They will watch you and follow your example. Your godly life will not go unnoticed by them.
Pray and trust God---he won't fail you.
