Thanks JYL. Yesterday did not get any better. I did what I had to do, but I didn't feel good about it at all. I can accept that she and I are finished, but it did not have to end this way.

Today has been better. Friends have been supportive, and my lawyer isn't taking any particular pleasure in the response we filed. I worked so hard to put this back together, and when I finally accepted that it was futile, I worked just as hard to make this an amicable process where we both walk away with as few open wounds as possible.

My wife had other ideas.

So it has come to this- full-blown miserable divorce trench warfare. I gave her choices and options... I didn't want this. But I will not stand by and watch my future with my children be stripped away from me by trying to be the "nice guy" while she attacks me with accusations I can defend myself from.

The children are coming over this weekend. All I want to do is curl up with them and read Captain Underpants. Celebrate the silliness of childhood, and cherish the time I as an adult have with my children before they become adults themselves.

Ugly business, divorce.
