Chapter 1: Regrets and Determination

I don't think that this day would have come 15 years ago. I never imagined standing here, feeling the weight of shame, in front of my children. There he stands, the man I have loved with all my heart, but now I question if that love alone is enough to change him. Did I make a mistake? But it's not about blame or resentment; I am more grateful than hateful.
In this moment, as I stand here filled with regret, I wonder if I should just stop. Should I turn away from this path? But no, I can't. If I stop now, he will never understand the burden he needs to bear, the effort required to support his family. He's not a bad father or a bad husband, but he still needs to make an effort, not just for me but, at least for his children.

I take a deep breath, steeling myself for what lies ahead. This divorce is not a decision I have taken lightly. It is a painful choice born out of necessity, fueled by the belief that change is possible. I want him to realize the impact of his actions and the responsibilities he holds as a father and a partner.

With a resolute heart, I step forward, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. For the sake of our children and the love we once shared, I will tread this difficult path with strength and hope.

Little do I know that our story has only just begun, with twists and turns that will test the very essence of our bond. Will love conquer all? Only time will reveal the answers, but for now, I am committed to this journey of rediscovery, healing, and the pursuit of a brighter tomorrow.
