[quote=Anonymous]OP, I found a divorce support group really helpful, I'm a mom but I'm sure they have them for dads, too. I found one on Meet Up, we also did social stuff. I've seen churches sponsor divorce support groups, too. Was a good source of information as well as support, good therapists for kids, etc. Helped me more than individual therapy.

It gets easier, you are in the early days yet. Don't put your kids in the middle, let them be children. Having your family split up is bad enough without feeling pressure to "take sides."

Does this guy have kids himself? A parade of other people, including other kids, has been hard on my kids, especially on holidays, but focus on what YOU can control to make things as easy, less stressful and more stable for them.

The better co-parenting relationship you can have with ex the better for your kids. Do your best to process apart from them and just be solid and a rock as much as possible. Be no drama so they can have both parents at school events, sports, etc.

You will get through this. Ultimately, looking at mistakes you made in choosing, re: compatibility and in not making repairs in the marriage can help you if you look for another partner. For now, just take it day by day. Try to exercise, eat well and get sleep. I got a puppy and that was a happy diversion for my kids and it got me out and walking. The stress impact on your health is huge.

Your kids are lucky to have you. You'll all get through this. [/quote]
