Hi Lori
I totally understand how you feel. It is harder in the beginning and you have to surround yourself with supportive people. Your kids will come to you with questions as mine did. Be honest yet answer based on their age and understanding. A...
Wow, I am going through the same thing right now. I just left my husband of 8 years in March of this year. It has been hard and the kids are doing alot better then what I thought they would they are 5 and 6. But I guess they are doing so good beca...
In my first comment I gave solid advice and direction with resouces to help. Now I will tell you the God-loving truth! Your ex is an ass! A really big one! And the woman he is dating so soon after the breakup of your marriage is an ass too! What r...

Boy, considering the crowd in this group, I might get lynched if I tell you who my favorite driver is, but it's internet, so I can't get too defamed.
I'm a HUGE Tony Stewart fan. I have been for probably 20 years, since he was driving dirt track ...
Hi Lori
Been there - done that. You need to stay calm and in control for your kids sake. Don't argue with soon-to-be ex over the phone or in front of them. Don't bad mouth him either. You don't need to explain details with kids, just let them kno...
Dearest Lori, and anyone else in a similar space,
As someone who has been long-time divorced, and now has an adult child, please listen carefully to my words of wisdom, having been there...and lived to talk about it:

Okay, here's my story and I'm sticking to it. I separated with my husband this past February, 2009. Long story, so I won't bore you with the details. Sufficed to say, I've filed for divorce and have two children, a boy, age 10, and a girl, age 5. ...
