FIB, how are you doing?
Listen, I think you had an obligation to tell the LG the truth as you saw it. After all, this involved the kids. And I dont think anyone could blame you for not being able to deal with your w and three guys. That is certainly a dealbreaker and you deserve better than that.

You did your best.
You tried your hardest.
You acted with dignity.
You protected your children.

I know without a doubt, that you will find peace and happiness in your life one day. Believe it.
