response to Rita

Hi Rita:

I am on the verge of divorcing my husband.  I have just asked for a separation because I feel as if we don't have a family.  We are so split down the middle that during holidays, after he spends a little time with me, he takes the kids and goes to his family's house.  Of course, he asks me to join him but I don't because they don't speak to me when I am there.  I really don't want to break up my family but I feel I have no other choice.
