(2,231 posts)having kids and raising them is something that I did every day and every night. Every breath in and out was about us growing up as a family. I built my life around my whole family. Last kid finally moved out in early Fall, last year. I thought it was time for my husband and I to have our time. In March he side blinded me by telling me he was done, that he was in love with an old girlfriend, and he was moving. He quit his job and the marriage the same day (after 30 years of both) he packed a back pack, left his house key, said"well I have everything I care about in this bag" and high tailed it out of this life. 3 grown kids, 25, 28, and 29, are so sad and mad at him. I had a very bad landslide of grief and fear. what I will do? who am I? Now they are all gone and I am in this house, and there is nothing I can do about this but survive, heal, and thrive again. It was very abrupt from my perspective, and mean. He didn't take one picture of the kids with him. It is still so new. He asked me why I couldn't be happy for him like we were for each kid as they grew up and went on with their life. He keeps emailing me to say how happy he is. He was surprised that I was not happy with his news of leaving.
