Oldlife, I am sorry you are going through this separation. No one wins in a divorce. It may help if you stop blaming wife for running off on her business trips and small business. She may not have really enjoyed this too much but it was a way to support your family, and you may have benefitted from this. Maybe you have a lot of things you can blame on her, but I would not blame her for these things. I had to do the travel and business stuff when my kids were small and it was a sacrifice, not something I enjoyed, but something that was necessary to keep my job.

I hope the week goes quickly for you.
