Steve, as a teacher I can tell you you can absolutely do something about this. And you should. Your kids need you. Contact their school and find out what is going on and then document it. Document anything to do with your kids. I am absolutely NOT telling you to get into a fight over custody for petty reasons (not saying you would do it anyway), but you need to make sure that what's going on is in their best interests. They need as much stability as they can get right now, and you can help provide this. Their teachers should be happy to talk to you.

I know things are hard and I am so sorry. It [censored]. I am going through divorce myself and one day is better than the others. But the best remedy you can have is to empower yourself. Delete her SM. Caring what she thinks means you are still making decisions based on what's good for her or what she thinks about you. I think if you were honest, the only reason you are having a hard time is because she doesn't want you. And that can cause us to want to pursue if we don't have the ability to empower ourselves. Because she is not worth it. I can't imagine any men here that would think she seems like a great option. She sounds immature and unattractive.

You can do this. Take care of yourself. Remind yourself that you need to ask what's best for you and your mental health, as well as your kids. Forget her. This is the hardest part, but if you can break through it you will become so clear on this relationship.
