Donna,

Your XH is a lost soul. Who the hel* buys a house with someone they're only in a non-legal relationship and thinks it's a good idea? You seem like a sweetheart to me, and this guy just ran you over with a steamroller and didn't look back. Whether it's his "unhappiness" or my STBXW's "Love tanks", the kids are the biggest losers, because in both of our cases, it was really solvable, had the other person been committed to anything but "their emotions".

What the he&& did your XH THINK a 13 year old boy would say? "No Dad, I'm really happy that you and mom are divorced and that I have the oppotunity to have instant new brothers and sisters. Everything is fine Dad". Your son will someday realize what his father did to a woman who was totally devoted to him. My kids get it, except my 10 year old.

You, on the other hand, seem to be doing well! Keep it up. I'd love to get the name of your attorney, but I'm not sure how I'd even contact you.
