[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC’s father walked out on the marriage during an extended mental health episode that involved delusions about me hurting him and persecuting him. I tried to attend couples counseling with him but he had split to a degree that the (multiple) counselors we saw recommended separation. It was very painful for me not to be able to salvage the marriage. Post divorce I have moved on and am much happier now that I am not being yelled out and emotionally abused by someone who was mentally ill.

My elder DC is 11. He is very angry about the divorce. He does not know the details but he knows it was his dad’s decision. He however yells and takes out his anger on me, even though this is something that I had no control over. He gets very mean says he doesn’t want to be with anyone in the family anymore. I get that he’s just a child and struggling, but this is hard for me to hear after what I’ve been through. [/quote]

He is angry at the situation not you but he takes it out on you.  Counseling for both of you.[/quote]
