Hey,
My wife ended our marriage after 13 years. I do feel a lot of guilt that I probably wasn't the best husband towards the end as I was suffering some depression and wasn't stepping up. Within a week of discarding me another man who we had know for 5 years was on the scene. For the next 5 months we swapped in and out of the home on different days to look after our 2 children. I eventually after this time moved into a rental ( I know I shouldn't have) but my mental health was declining rapidly. I know I should have stayed in house full time. Within 2 days of me moving into rental he moved in. He also left his wife of 28 years and two teenage kids. For the next 9 months my kids would stay at my rental for half the time. Unfortunately about 3 months ago I asked her if I could just have a bit of time as my mental health was severely declining again and I didn't want to be sad around the children. I still haven't had the kids back and obviously she now has filed for child support. She is also buying me out of the family home but the amount she is offering is not fair and my solicitor agrees but I don't think I can keep fighting much more. This guy is also spoiling my kids and trying totally erase me. I've been messaging the kids saying I love them, but my son messaged back he doesn't want to see me. He probably feels I've abandoned him. He's 9 and my daughter is 13. I'm paying large rent which I can't really afford in a tiny unit which I used to feel bad for the kids having to stay here. She's ended up with the house, A new partner, which she has denied they are a couple while the settlement is happening and I've got nothing barely surviving.
