dealing with guilt of leaving
how do you cope with the guilt of leaving? I don't want to deny my kids the chance to know their father but I may need to move to be nearer my family while I get back on my feet. we're already separated, but I'm thinking of moving farther away ... I don't know ... alcoholic husband just lost his job and has not visited us in a month. not for my birthday. not for mother's day. the kids are starting to ask questions. and yet I'm afraid of hurting the guy by announcing I'm done. when I try to talk to him about what I'm thinking, he's always too depressed or too anxious or too busy with work and claims I'm kicking him when he's down. am I? I feel paralyzed with indecision and living in limbo, living for the kids completely. how to get my own life?
