I agree with Meanon. That most certainly is the most difficult phase. I knew in my heart probably a year before I left my husband that I would be leaving. But it took that long for me to reconcile all the different emotions and figure out the best way to go about it. By the time I did it, I felt I had all my ducks in a row and never looked back. I had no doubt in my mind that what I was doing was the best thing for all of us.
It's a hard thing, taking that first step, there's no doubt about it. But once you do make up your mind, and once you do take that first step, you will probably feel a load lifted off your shoulders. Even if you know you're going to be going through hell for a while, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
