Lis, Remember Christmas week? That did not happen because of NJ law. He was confused. And I bet OW doesn't know he cheated on her with you. You tell me... does this sound like a R built on stability and trust and love? No. So run over those fears with a big, fat SPLAT!
As far as your kids, that is a legitimate fear. All you can do is minimize their pain. Read and learn about children and D. I have a few books if you're interested. Get them into therapy. And also, try to find things that will make the kids happy. Maybe you plan a little trip with the three of you or you go away with your parents or your brothers with your kids.
As for the pain... you may always feel some pain. But it will NOT be the stinging, stabbing pain that it is now. I am SURE of that. You will work through the pain and you will move forward. You will find happiness again. Again, I'm SURE of that. So, give that one a big, fat SPLAT, too.
