How to overcome fear - try this

She wants space.
She wants separation.
Your wife claims she never got to "have her 20s,” and acts like divorce is her golden ticket to cut ties with commitment and responsibility.
Anger covers the Fear you feel like a red cloak of protection.
Every morning you don its rusty varnish as if it were fire meant to melt the numb coldness of your deeper concerns.
You feel out of control of your wife’s decisions, her feelings, and her thoughts.
She’s not being logical.
She’s not being the best mom she can be to your son and daughter.
You feel Fear.
• Fear for your marriage
• Fear for your wife's well-being
• Fear for your kids having to grow up in a divorced family
The Fear casts snow-blind eyes into your Kingly vision and pushes your wife further away with your attempts to speak reason into her being. Fear pushes you backwards on your journey on who you want to be as a man.

Welcome the fear that you don’t have the answer to anything
Welcome the fear that you don’t have it all solves, it’s not going to feel good
