My husband was married for 24 years when he got a divorce. His wife was a hypochondriac and a pathological liar. Unfortunately his two children (they were 24 and 21 when he got a divorce) believe that my husband was wrong to divorce their mother.
While they think he was wrong, he has many people tell him that he seems much happier since the divorce. It was unfortunate that he stayed as long as he did but I know he does not regret the divorce at all. He finally is happy and not a victim of her emotional instability and abuse.
The kids both come around and are pleasant but I believe the still resent him (and now me) even though their mother has a boyfriend.
You have to live life for you. Your children will understand as long as you are honest.
Good luck.

I was married 20 years and had 3 kids, two teenagers when we split up. Divorced because I was very unhappy with my lifestyle. Seemed that my husband couldn't keep a job and he was a huge bible-thumper. I worked full-time. I sat down one night and read "Bridges of Madison County". After crying my heart out I thought to myself "what am I going to be doing in 20 years? Will I have missed someone special?" and the answer was "you're going to be doing the same thing you're doing now, honey and YES, you will miss someone who really loves you!". So, I took a hike rather than face another 20 years with a selfish, preaching, lazy-as*s excuse of a man. My kids weren't happy, but eventually they grew out of it. Now I'm happily remarried, and cherished. My ex is also remarried. Guess what he's doing? The same old thing he always did..jobless and preaching!!! I'm happy for him. That was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. We all deserve a second chance. Godloveya.
