Thank you to those who offered positive support, but the critical comments really didn't help. To those questioning our commitment because we aren't legally married, I don't know how you can be more committed to someone than having children with them.

We spoke this evening. The conversation became very challenging, and she admitted to cheating on me.

I'm sorry for asking the wrong question in my original post. It turns out the problem was much bigger than I realized. Right now, I'm speaking to friends to get help and support for myself. [/quote]

It wasn't the wrong question.  It was just part of the bigger picture.

I'm really sorry for your situation.  You sound like a very good father.

Now you know that part of the alienation was likely due to guilt.

This site doesn't help everybody but I'm suggesting it anyway: chumplady.com.  It will reinforce that the situation was not caused by you and is not your fault.  That may be helpful to hear.  Some also recommend various Reddits.
