Medium time lurker, first time poster on a throwaway.

Two kids under six, things have been rough for the past year at least. We were going to therapy. We were talking about what we could do. When it looked like we needed to end it,I was trying to push a dissolution to expedite and limit impact on the kids. Shared the details I had obtained from my consults in good faith.

Went to work this morning. Got an email that she filed last night, put in five different orders and took the kids and drove a few hours away.

Other than a video call here and there I haven’t seen my kids in 3 1/2 days. It’s ironic because I’m so relieved to know that I’m making the right decision and that there’s no coming back, but I so badly miss my children. And I just cannot believe that this is the person I decided to build a life with.

I don’t think there’s anything to be said or done. It just feels better to put it out there.
