Dear Petite,
It seems right, your doing this. From your blog, I see that you have given so much and yet he is unable to give much of himself. Take good care!

Petite,

I have been reading your blog for few months now, since I moved to France myself from Australia, and have discovered your the amazing ability to express how and what so many of us feel living in France.

I came home this afternoon after spending the weekend in Paris and read your latest post. I sincerely hope you find the courage, strength and peace you deserve in the days, weeks and months ahead.

All the best to all three of you,
Nicnu

This must be a very hard time for you & I just wanted to add my best wishes to the pile already here.

I’m the daughter of separated parents and have always felt that what is right for the parents is usually better for the children too. The separation (when I was 6 and my sister was 3) was never a problem as far as my sister and I were concerned.

All the best to you, and one more small voice (beeswing, the lurking reader) thinking of you.

I, too have been silently lurking on your blog for a few weeks — but couldn’t read your endings post without commenting.

You are an amazingly talented woman and it sounds like you have made a courageous decision to follow your heart. I hope knowing that so many of us in so many places are thinking about you helps….

I just saw Lesley’s comment. Tadpole won’t even remember when you were together and so many kids’ parents live apart that she won’t feel like the odd one out. If anyone makes any comments like that again just remember that they’re speaking from the experience of a different generation.

I know an old woman who stayed with her man for the sake of the children and he dragged her down for almost half a century. You’ve done the right thing.

Delurking to send my very best wishes to you all. I felt terrible when I read your post on Friday, and wish I could offer something more than condolences and courage. Anyone who has been though a breakup like this knows it is NEVER a light decision, and never easy. Hang in there…

I’m really sorry. As a boy who has lived that, I recommend that you give ALL support to little tadpole and PLEASE let her see her dad, and dont criticize him hardly in front of her.
Best, love and support…

I had two children when it happened to me. At first, I was numb with hurt and shock. I thought that the best part of my life was over and that there was nothing to look forward to. I went on because I had to for the kids’ sake. Nine years later, I look at my life and those of my kids’ and we’re all agreed that divorce was one of the best things that ever happened to us! I believe that this ending will be equally good for you and tadpole. If Mr. Frog can’t see how lucky he was to have the two of you, he doesn’t deserve you. Be strong for tadpole’s sake, get good legal advice, and never trust a lawyer named Heather!

Splitting up seems crazy!
