At a Crossroads in Life: How Can I Create a Golden Opportunity from All of the Upheaval?

I am at a real crossroads at a tricky time in my life. My husband left last July, I will be made redundant this July, my kids are all teenagers and about to fly, and my mother is seriously ill in the U.S. I would appreciate some advice on how to move forward and turn it all into a golden opportunity. Many, many thanks!

When a Marriage is Over: He Has Emotionally Checked Out of the Relationship but Physically Still Lives Under the Same Roof

Dear Zuri:

After 28 roller coaster years I’ve decided to leave my wife. It’s been tough the last few weeks letting her know how I feel. She is not in the same place I am. I want to hurt her as little as possible so I’ve tried to work things out slowly and honestly. But it’s been tough.

Thanks.
