I didn't just want to drop off the boards without people knowing where I've gone. My husband of 20 years walked out on me and our boys Christmas Day. Needless to say, I am shocked and devastated and hurting so much for the kids. So please understand that I probably won't be around for a while. I've left a story hanging- Regarding Clark. If anyone is interested in finishing it, email me in the next few days and I'll shoot the entire file to you. Just know I might not check my mail but once or twice over the next week.
So... I love you guys and take care.

Some things are beyond words.
But you know that you have a lot of friends here and our thoughts will be with you. We'll be hoping life improves for you soonest.

Oh, SQD, I'm so sorry.
This would be devastating enough at any time, but that it was on Christmas Day makes it even worse, if that were possible.
I can only imagine the pain you and your kids must be going through.
Do whatever you need to do to help yourself and your sons heal. We'll be here when you're ready to come back.
Take care,
Lynn
I have no words to tell you how terribly sorry I am to hear.
But like Labby said, you have lots of friends here on the boards. If you ever need us, we'll be here.
Hubby and I send our thoughts and prayers to you and your boys.
Very sorry to hear this - don't worry about the stories, they can wait.
Oh my. That is really tragic. I echo the others. You have fast friends here. Unfortunately we can't reach out of the computer and give you a hug.
A similar thing just happened to my daughter, but the man came back to his senses. May the same thing happen to you.
regards
Artemis
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

Oh my goodness. I can't express how sorry I am for both you and your sons. My heart flies out to you all. Having been on the receiving end of a very similar circumstance (dad walked out on me at the age of 17 and my younger brother who was 12), I can say that I sympathize deeply.
There is just so much pain involved all around... I'm sorry to see you have to take time away from us, but please, take care of your family first. That should always come as a first priority. I hope for your sake and the kids' that this all gets resolved in the best way possible and quickly.
So sorry to hear that SQD.
As you said, your kids will be suffering, but don't forget about looking after yourself as you try to look after them.
Corrina.
I'm really sorry and shocked.
A virtual hug (from a virtual stranger who loves your stories) goes out to you and your boys hoping for better days.
We'll be praying for you and your family for the best resolution possible.

As much as any outsider can, I understand what you're going through.
My sister's husband served her with divorce papers on their twenty-seventh anniversary a few years ago. Since then, I've seen him at his daughter's wedding and perhaps one other occasion. And I've seen first-hand the damage he's done to my sister and to their children. Any respect I had for him as a man, a husband, and a father is gone. I told my sister that if she wanted me to, I'd get a baseball bat and work him over. She hasn't given me the go-ahead yet, but I'm still hopeful.
I don't know all the circumstances of this situation, of course, but I'm very sorry you're going through it. I can only hope and pray that all of your, working together, find your way back to each other. I hope you have a strong network of friends who will stand with you. And I hope you get the best legal advice possible. I also hope you have a qualified counselor who will help you face this tragedy.
May you find light even in this dark time. And may you be loved even as you love.
