The Guilt

I left my husband. Mostly for selfish reasons. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with him, I was just unhappy and nothing I did brought about any changes. It was definitely the best thing for me, but not for anyone else.

The kids are sad, he's sad, and the guilt for breaking up our family is killing me.

Does this get better? Do I just have to take the lesser of 2 evils and decide between guilt or being in a miserable marriage? 😞

Yes it will get better.

It's all raw.. it will get better, the kids will adjust and be happy and he will move on.

Eventually the miserableness you felt in your marriage would have started to impact on your kids anyway, you wouldn't avoid this current situation, just prolong it.

Hope you all adjust and feel better soon!
