Hopeless, A suggestion people gave me was to take a written list of questions and things you wish to discuss with a lawyer at the consultation. I'm sorry you are having to go through this.
You are so right about us having to be the one to pick up all of the pieces when they go. It seems so unfair, they have their OW and their "great new lives". I hope someday they realize what they did to their families. My girls' lives are so different as a result of this. I'm so thankful for my girls, but it's not fair that they get to act like they're single and do whatever they want. Don't get me wrong I'm so glad to have my kids with me, I wouldn't want to be without them. But on the other hand I have to be a Mom all of the time. If I'm having a bad day my kids see it, my H on the other hand gets to go have a "lovely time" with the OW. Well our H's are the ones missing out.
Have a great time at the picnic! You deserve it!
