Mistakes were made

The result of his response to my exit so traumatic for my kids, even years after the divorce... 

I acted 'in the best interests' 

Better to come from a broken home than live in one... the guilt remains always. 🥺

Second act, I acted upon my trauma response without even realizing.  I thought it better for them for the household to remain intact until 2020. 

Yeah. Another error. 

I'm still not any good at recognizing what's 'in the best interests' 😕
