You said near the end of your most recent post "even though my family is over". I hope this doesn't sound harsh when I say this, but I think that attitude is kind of unhealthy. Your family is not over. You still have children and you can still have an amazing relationship with them and be the best dad you can be. Your family as you once knew it that included your XW is over, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Your family is not over, it has just changed. Continue working on yourself and being a good dad. Work on those things that are important - yourself and your kids. You got this!


Its not over. I know that. But the family as I viewed it should be is over. Again I know that I will be fine. I am happy with who I am. My kids trust me and love me. I will be there for them always and be their rock. It just pisses me off that my kids have to deal with this. I am from a broken home. My EXWW and I always promised the kids that they wouldnt have to deal with what we dealt with as children.

But now they have to. Fortunately I am stable, financially and mentally and can handle this. They can see that and it gives them strength. I am not negative about it at all. I just show them that I love myself and that I am happy and show them that we will all be happy and we have a lot of good times to look forward to.
