As for your concerns about the kids, I've been through a lot...not here to bus drive XW, but a number of men staying at the house the kids didn't even know, alcoholism, and beyond. But you know what? Things are so rock solid at my place that I know they will be grounded. They will be safe, loved, and have a place to be themselves. Most of all they will learn from me how to handle adversity, as I am modelling it for them and teaching them as we go.
That said, their mom loves them too. And in so many ways she is a great mother. Yes, she has problems. So do I. But she loves them, they love her, and she looks out for them in a lot of ways too.
Not much for advice, just some reassurances that the kids will bloom just fine. The truth is this world is pretty messy, all you're doing is getting the opportunity to start showing them how to lead through a mess. Lead on brother!
