Re: Wife says she is gay
how old are your kids? please encourage them to love and remain close to their mom b/c if not they will likely resent you in the end. b/c eventually they will come around and want her is their lives. naturally, they are hurting and devastated, but one day they will regain a relationship with their mom and you don't want to be seen as someone who tried to discourage that b/c of your own feelings towards her. i am not saying this to minimize what she has done/is doing, but to offer a little bit of perspective. i'm not suggesting that you force them to do anything unsafe or prematurely, but just remind them that she loves them and they don't have to choose between the two of you. that is heavy stuff for kids, even teenagers, even if they don't express it. a lot of their "hate" might be hurt feelings and sadness. as far as you are concerned, i feel terribly that you have to endure this. just focus on fixing your own issues and give your wife the time and space she has taken, love on your kids, and take it day by day. i wish you the best.
