Hey, It is so good that your parents are there for you. I didn't tell my parents until I found out that H had filed. They were sooo nice to me and wanted to know why I hadn't told them. It was because I pretty much knew that once my parents knew, there was no going back. I had always said that he was going to have to tell everyone what he was doing. H is such a coward, he couldn't even tell his parents that he was cheating, just that he met someone he could talk to. Yeah, that is a reason to leave your family.
It is hard. I am not going to sugar coat it, but we are here for you and it sounds like your friends are coming out of the woodwork. Talk to them. They are there to help. Tell them what you need.
A few weeks ago I went out with my bestfriend and I told her, just because I am disappointed and mad at him doesn't mean I don't love him. She said she knew and that was why she let me get out alot of my frustrations when I talked to her. They may not totally get it, but just being with them will help.
Lots of hugs Roger. You are going to be fine and so will your kids. Focus on the 4 of you now. I wish I could say more to help you. I am always checking in so if you need to talk I am here.
