Just received a text from one of my sons. He's going to ask his wife for a divorce. Ever since his stroke their life changed. We thought them moving away and slowing down would be good for them but it was just a band-aid. He started drinking again and had a wreck but wasn't "caught" by the police. It just damaged his truck a little.
She was a principal at a local HS here in the DFW area and probably on her way to the school board etc.. She and her family are all over-achievers and all of her family have multiple degrees while my son was voted class clown and just managed tire stores. She decided to go back to just being a teacher but think it's killing her not to push for more and blames my son for having the stroke and ruining their future plans.
Told him I will support him in whatever he chooses but getting a divorce won't make his life easier just different.
Please I beg you all to say a few prayers for them all. I have said a prayer for all involved - him, her, his family and her family. You didn't mention kids. I am not a counselor or psychologist so I'm not qualified to comment on what the problem might be or how to go about fixing it. I've been through a divorce and I'm not judging anyone who's going thru one, except to say that it's never easy. Maybe some advice from dad about talking it out with an expert would be what he needs to hear.

Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

As many has stated on here, divorce is hard for all. If you're not already on the road, I would be soon. Your son could use someone in his life at this moment that is not judging nor providing advice. Just listen, then when he asks for advice, then you offer it.
Prayer for all.

Tell him to let her go….file for alimony. Sometimes divorce is inevitable. Women are crazy. Your son will recover and move on.

Been through a divorce many years ago. Praying for your son, his wife and both families. Hopefully your son will seek counseling along with his wife if they haven't already done so.

Tell him to let her go….file for alimony. It sounds like he is the one filing the way i read it. She quits her better job, moves takes a lessor job, he gets in the bottle. Not to be unsympathetic but maybe she should be filing.

I feel for you. It’s not a helpless situation. Be a good advisor for him. Not to pry but was his stroke caused by any substance? Why would she hold that against him?
