Being on the other end of this divorce issue...I am currently going through a divorce and struggled for a very long time whether or not to 'stay for the kids'. After reading several of your stories, I think I have made the right decision. Not that it is going to be easy for my kids, it is definitely going to be a healthier environment for them to live. I grew up in a 'stable' household where my parents to this day are still together, however, my mother is not a happy person. I believed I should stick this out and not fail my marriage or my family. I am the one, however, who has been sacrificing happiness and it finally took its toll. It is truly a tough issue to address. Thanks for sharing.
