Divorce

I am now faced with the most heart-breaking event in my life.  The destruction of my family.  I love my wife and my step-daughter, but all that awaits my immediate future is a divorce.  It’s not my choice.  My wife has made it clear through her actions and words that she no longer has feelings for me.

This result is not the fault of a single person.  Both my wife and myself brought us to this.  It would require both of us to be willing to work to pull us out of this pit we have created.  Unfortunately, my wife has given up on our marriage.  It would be folly for me to think that I alone could perform a miracle.

I know I have made mistakes in the past few years.  There are so many things I wish I had done differently.  But I can’t change the past.  My wife never forgives and never forgets.  She chooses to throw away our seven years of marriage and take what she thinks is the easy way out.

Someday, I may forgive her.  Not today.
