I totally agree with you. Some people's views on men and how they and their feelings can be so easily discarded, as soon as it no longer suits a woman are horrendous. That this is openly suggested on a public forum makes it all the worse to me.The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.0 - 
            I think we all need to remember that no matter who is 'at fault' or causes the relationship to end, usually both parties will end up sad or hurt at some stage, when you start to reflect on the goods times previously shared it can bring sadness, however children shared should never feel as if they are at fault, nor be used by either parties to score points off the other, you can divorce a husband/wife, but never your children, they are a permanant reminder of previous love that for some reason or another has ended. I admire this lady for leaving because she had an unhappy marriage, she will have hurt her partner enough by separating him from herself and their children, nothing else to do now than to focus on a better future for herself, but to keep the door always open for the children to be able to have a happy relationship with their father, you may not love him anymore but they do0

            I have no idea why you are posting. you are happy (or rather, in your own words 'exhilarated' - and its not one I associate with the newly divorced usually) with the situation despite having confused kids and a hurting ex.
What is it you want from us? a round of applause? because you wont get it from me. your post sounds positively gleeful, you are paying lip service to the idea that people have been hurt. I get the impression that really that doesn't bother you in the slightest.
and this idea that a 'happy mummy' makes happy kids, that's the biggest load of self serving carp I have ever heard. but tell yourself that while your kids wonder what the hell is going on, why their world has been turned upside down. tell them what a wonderful time YOU are having.0
