Dear Coleen
I’m a woman in my 40s and split from my husband about 18 months ago. The separation and divorce process has been horrible and I’ve felt totally broken at times.
It was his decision to leave and his reasons at the time were that he’d fallen out of love, the relationship felt hard and he was unhappy. He didn’t want to try counselling and that was that. He moved out and I stayed in the family home with our two children who are 10 and 12.
