I am delighted to hear you say that. It's a bumpy ride and realistically you may have to practically as well as literally protect yourself and your children. This will be whatever you do or wherever you go.
You have my full support as well as your tribe here.
Can I make a recommendation?
Your boys need love, hugs and listening to. They need Joe time as a family and one on one. I Internet promise you, your kids are your kids for ALL of your life. Precious, vulnerable and robust all at once. I am reminded of another Joe who came here, whose WW went into the sex trade and who built his life on his family and step kids.
A very special dad whose current happiness knows no bounds with his first step grandchild and whose life overflows with love.
Oh and I did say hugs didn't I? The easiest way is just to say "dad needs a hug right now".
