If I could delete one bit of history from my brain it would be the evening we told her. That will absolutely haunt me for the rest of my life.

Telling our 13 and 15 year old almost 10 years ago is also the worst single experience I've had. I curled up in a ball later and just bawled. Fast forward to 10 years later and with a focus on the kids, putting egos and hurt aside, they are happy well adjusted adults who have thanked us for how we handled things. They now have many reference points with friends who have had divorced parents use them as weapons in their petty wars.
It does get better as the good memories replace the bad ones. My Mom ended up in the hospital the other day. My ex called to check on her. We will always have the connection of having kids and growing up together.
