cbwm- it wasn't his decision. He was supposed to be working on his anger management and he hasn't made an effort to work on himself. I honestly don't think he will care. It's going to hurt the rest of his family more than it will hurt him. I'm still having a hard time not feeling guilty about it though, but I don't think he's going to change so I know it's for the best.
The bolded part sounds like my dad. My mom left him and it was hard on us at the time, but trust me when I say that your kids (and you) will be so much better off in the long run. You're making the right decision. :Y:
