K4D It's a Wonderful Life

[TrentC]

I'm sorry. I am purely speaking out of frusturation at this point. I just can't believe there is nothing I can do to stop my kids from getting pulled into this. It bothers me to no end.

...but you're not trying to control the situation. Oh, no.

It greatly bothers me. It is like people are basically forced into accepting something no matter how much their beliefs are against it.

Welcome to the real world. Crap happens.

I am having a tough time accepting this. I could deal with it when it was just her and OM. I am having a real hard time accepting that my kids are now being drawn into this.

You know something, Kevin? They are her kids, too.

Barring an arrangement where she gets no custody and no visitation, she will get the opportunity to create her own relationship with her kids. You can't "protect" them from that.

Once you are divorced, she may choose to hop in and out of every bed she comes across. She may also find that she can settle down with OM, and end up in a somewhat healthy relationship. But that is her choice, and her prerogative, and the best you can do for your kids is to help them deal with whatever happens.
