I recently separated from my husband and I have to small children, ages 4 and 6. I feel so much guilt for separating them from their dad and breaking up their (what they thought) happy home. Will they ever recover from it? After reading the posts, I'm not sure. How do you know if what you've done is the right thing? Do you stay in an unhappy marriage for the kids' sake, or do you try to find some sort of happiness and do everything in your power to make sure the kids are emotionally taken care of? I just have so many thoughts and unanswered questions in my head that I have no idea what to do next.
