Well, since it is past midnight my time, it is officially my parents 46th anniversary, but I am so incredibally sad right now, because my husband left home about 4 hours ago, to go and "stay" at a friends house for a while... in other words he has moved out... I made him be the one to tell our kids, because I told him, since he was the one wanting to leave he needed to take the responsibility of telling them... For the most part I think they all appeared to take it fairly well. At least I hope they did!

Just pray for all of us right now please!?!?!?!?

Is it okay if I light a candle for you all? I'll say some positive thoughts, but it would be of a more non-denominational prayer. Want to make sure it's okay if I do so first. :] I understand if not! Hugs
Thanks for this!

I just talked to my husband via text message and his birth mother is now on life support and the decision regarding when to remove it will be up to his sister...

There are just so mannnnnny things going on in his life right now. Guess I shouldn't be so suprised that he is stressed to this level...

((slinks)) - I'll say a prayer and sending positive vibes your way. Sorry to hear about your MIL and this must be hard for your husband. It's very hard when a relationship ends, but I hope both of you remain civil for the kids

I hope we can to, but right now we are just calling in a seperation... I am not ready to give up on 22 years with this man, because he's had a hard couple of years.

I pray that he will make some progress in therapy and given time we can work things out.

There is no violence or abuse, and I just don't see any reason that once we each make progress seperately we can't start working on us together...

....He just isn't sure that is the case yet...

They have removed her from life support now and she is having labored breathing, and now they will just wait!

So sorry to hear this ((slinks)). One of my main rules in life is, "never make important decisions when you're upset". I think this is a very difficult time for your husband and he needs compassion. I'm hoping both of you can come back together and lean on each other. If a real split is in the future for both of you, let it be a time when they're aren't heavy things happening. Now that he's dealing with an impending death, relationship problems seem kind of small.....don't they?

Oh I so agree... He is the one who keeps pulling away... But I have been texting him all day, and I have reminded him numerous times that I am here if he needs me to lean on, I want to be supportive.... I am just not sure he will let me be there...

I believe that this birth family is the root of a great deal of his stress, but not because of what happened since reconnecting with them... It dates back to his first 6 years of life... abuse (several different abusers and forms of abuse), neglect, and just poor quality of life...

And I am not sure how much involvement he had in the decision to remove life support, but in the decision between us, it was basically all his.

I am here if he'll have me!

Thank you for the caring and encouraging words lynn!

Well, her heart has started to fail now...so it won't be long...

I hope he might come home for a while, but i won't ask him... I think I might mention to the kids, and have them say they want to be close to him while he is sad.
