KML asked me to look in on you. Sounds like you are doing well with this turn in events. I understand exactly how you are feeling. My STBX is pregnant and due next month. She is living with OM and they are planning to be married once both of their divorces are done. My daughters have embraced the idea of having a new brother. My STBX and her OM are living on the system. They both don't work and get welfare/subsidized housing and the like. I agree with you that you can't help her, but you need to help your kids. Make sure that this will not effect your feelings for them or your relationship with them. Your children need to know that you are there for them and that they have at least one parent who isn't flaking out on them.
I'm sorry that you are going through this. I hoped that I was the only one, but I knew that couldn't be true.
