So now you have closure with your ex girlfriend.....good, now move on.
What about those goals for yourself?
Visitation schedule for the children would be a good place to start, this will help to avoid seeing her on a daily basis.
As much as you may want to see the kids each and every day, it may not be possible BUT you can have set days with them that they can look forward to as special days with Daddy.
OR....
You could file for sole custody of the children.
Phil, I read in one of your posts about all of the "stuff" your buy for your kids. You also mention that your job situation is a little precarious right now, so maybe you might want to cut back a bit. Honestly kids do not need all of that "stuff".
I am NOT telling you how to parent, but kids love to sit with their Mom or Dad and read a book or do a puzzle.
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
