You are right it is so unfair to the children. They need you and you need them. As time passes, I find that me and my children are closer than ever. We have a bond now that ex does not have because we experienced ex's wrath, selfishness, denial, stupid behavior, etc.... We had to suffer through it together. We are also stronger because of it and sometimes can laugh about certain aspects of it.

We cannot live someone's elses life.
