my child was again telling me to divorce him last night. i think there is more to it all now than she priginally let on, and i told her we will not just leave we need to talk to him if she is that angry. she didnt want to, i told her i would. so i talked to my husband. i told him she is angry and wants me to divorce him. he is heartbroken. but hopefully this can start some deep thought and repair.
Think about all of the stupid things we'd do if we listened to our kids about adult things. They'd have us taking them on vacation 20 times a year and buying them everything they want and beating up the bully's dad and letting them change schools everytime a teacher made them tow the line. If you are looking for a way out of your marriage, don't let your kids be your excuse. It sounds to me like you want people to give you a green light, using your children as the reason. Divorce will shatter your kids' lives, and yours in ways you can't understand or imagine until you've been there. I'm not saying that divorce is uncalled for sometimes. I am saying it's not the door to an easier, happier life. One day your children will be asking you how you ever listened to them. They will be telling you that you are the adult and you shouldn't have let kids pressure you into making such a profound, life changing decision.
