You sound very condemning, unsupportive and judgmental. A more compassionate reply would have been along the lines of "I can see how hard this is for you... leaving someone is not easy, nor is divorce. It's a big life decision, it's one of the most difficult life experiences one can go through, and emotions can be contradictory".
Perhaps he can change - perhaps not. But at this point, I cannot deny my feelings. If he cannot change, then I truly will have my answer.
He has spoken with his mother about his anger issues, even. He is accepting of it now and wants to address it in therapy. This gives me some amount of hope.

We don't get to choose the support we receive from others. We choose to accept or discard the support given. I saw your pre edit post so I thought it was important to point out that support does not mean agreement with your choices. I think many here have been very supportive of your stated desire to end your relationship. I think you would be wise to not discard the support you've been given. You don't know when you may need it again.
