Dear Christopher:

I think it is healthy on your part, that your “heart is slowly beginning to surrender to this (reality of a possible divorce)”.

I hope your wife overcomes her difficulty “to speak up or talk about difficult things in life”, that she does so in therapy and with others, you included.

Regarding her stated need for a separation from you to figure things out, I think she needs a separation from her mother as well.

Keep that “focus on being a light in (your) son’s life and become a better man”, and post again, anytime.
