"My ex-wife was a wonderful woman, an incredible mother."
"We were married for 26 years."
"Our marriage was wonderful, but then something changed for me and I didn't want to be there, in the family home. I wanted to get out of there."
A man in his late 60s with four children describes a 26-year marriage and a separation. He calls his ex-wife a wonderful woman and an incredible mother. The marriage was once wonderful, but his feelings changed and he no longer wanted to be in the family home. He felt a need to get out of the shared household and made the choice to leave. The change came from within him rather than from a failing in his partner's role as a parent. The departure altered family life and required significant personal adjustment for him and for his children.
