Any books on supporting teen children with separation?
Hi all
Could anyone advise on good books which will help me support my teen daughter now that my WH and I are separating? We separated 3 years ago following DD then reconciled 18 months later. It's not worked out. My poor daughter is going to have her world turned upside down again

Recommended books to support my decision to leave
Hi all
After 20 months of attempting to reconcile following my WS extensive infidelity,I have decided to end our marriage. I am riddled with guilt amongst other feelings but I know it's the right decision. Can anyone recommend books to help me navigate through this complicated process?

Second thoughts
I'm looking for advice. I discovered my WS had been online cheating for 7 years and during the latter years this progressed to physical cheating with 3 individuals (that I know of). We separated when I discovered this. There were years of financial abuse on his part too. Resentment built on my part and I wasn't the most loving wife. During our separation we were together a lot due to issues with our children, one whom was in crisis. We reconciled approx 18 months after separating. I feel that now things have settled with the children and I'm over the trauma of my discoveries that I'm having second thoughts
He has never sought marriage counselling for us even though I have brought this up more than once. I feel I have to check on him or micromanage him. He has been transparent and made the effort in other ways but I'm not sure if I want to be married to him anymore. I feel like I am turning into a complete moan and I wasn't like this when were separated. I also feel like we are very different. I'm scared of the impact on my teen daughter but I'm also scared of living an unhappy life and that I'm putting off the inevitable. I'd be devastated if anything happened to him. I don't want to hurt my WS as he has been let down badly by the people in life who should have been there for him. I just feel stuck.
