We have now been divorced since March 07. My wife left the country with our two children (13 & 16) in January to return to their country of birth. Since then both children have returned to the UK to live with me. My ex wife has stayed put, close to her family but with no finances and no possesions to speak of. She has met someone and moved in with him in a rented house shared with about six others.
Because my ex w moved abroad she left virtually all 'her' belongings with me and did not contest to have 'half' of the estate.
My children now live back in the family home and have all their memories back. The only thing they dont have is their mum. She has always been incredibly close to them. Now the only contact between them is a quick phone call here and there and an sms message every few days. She doesnt have a computer so doesnt have access to the internet for instant messaging etc.
No-one, including my ex w's close family, can understand how she has been able to let the kids go without going with them.
I have never stopped loving her and wonder whether now is right time to slowly start the possible process of reconciliation. As far as I have ever been able to work out our divorce was caused by our business pressures, which ended in bankruptcy. The were never any affairs, violence, name calling, swearing. There, of course, were arguments - who doesnt argue a couple of time s a year?
Can it work and how should I go about it. I desperately want a complete family again and I dont want to screw this up. My wife has a home, all her belongings, the family dog AND HER KIDS waiting for her.
