It just isn't my fault. My wife had no right to leave California without me. I made a mistake making California my home.

I'm sure it isn't, how long had you been together? California is beautiful I know, but it can also be pretty quick paced.

We were together 10 years. I am just disgusted that it had to happen at this point. Christmas week, of all weeks.

It's important that you know that you can feel whatever way you need to about your loss. Its a tough time of year for something like that. Had things been pretty rocky?
assistant
Others,Question
Things like this were sudden. I mean, I never expected her to up and walk out with the kids. The only thing I can think of was that California was getting too expensive and the homeless were taking over LA; that may have spooked her to leave the state.

Wow, that's horrible. It seems you should have some kind of legal authority in that aspect. Is that a big problem out there?
assistant
Reflection of feelings,Question
I really don't have any discourse. The kids are almost 18. They are twins. Yeah, in her eyes, she seems fed up with the state. She left me for Texas, the state, not the person. I mean, she never mentioned loving, "Text," but the kids are bing into the Dallas Cowboys

It is important that you understand that it seems that she has been thinking of this for a while.

Any help to get her to come back would help. My hobbies are on hold.....I need to get "un-disgusted" first.

I understand, it can be good to help get some stress out in other ways. Do you excercise? What kind of hobbies do you have?
assistant
Others,Providing Suggestions
I have a gym membership....if they are even open with the COVID-19. Maybe I can just jog or speed walk every day. Perhaps pushups can help?
