To Live... That is the adventure

My 2nd marriage is about to end. She served me papers a few days ago. I fought for years to save it but the only thing that seemed to come from it was damage to my mental health. Seems I don't learn too well. I didn't realize when they said they were committed for life that was only half a sentence. The other half was: ...or untill I tire of you, whichever comes first. I know my kids need me but sometimes I fight with the thought that maybe my life insurance will take better care of them than I could, broken as I am.

Sorry to hear that this happened. I think your wife was just unreasonably harsh with you.

Is there any way that the divorce could be handled amicably?

That's true all too often, unfortunately.

If your kids care about you even a little bit, they'd much rather that you live than have your life insurance.

Maybe in time things can get better.

Your children need a father. I went through a divorce about 5 years ago, I was married for 25 years. I know it is tough but my life is good now, better than ever. Try to focus on what is best for your children is the best advice I can give you. If you ended your life they would always blame themselves, it would leave that heritage for them. I would suggest accepting the fact that you are getting divorced, that is the back side, and the front side is to make some goals for yourself. Work on making yourself a better person, in whatever way that is. Communication, cooking, your physical health, caring about other people, etc. Don't just live, thrive.
