[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you're going through this.

Having said that, you will def need space to vent (not to your kids) and cool off. You cannot control him being there or his exposure to your kids. Accepting that, eventually, will be a big step to your  . . . recovery or moving forward.

You will be around him, also. And frankly, you will need to be. The most successful divorces I know of are ones where they eventually -out of desire or just necessity- were able to reach a state of polite amicability. If nothing else, then for the kids.

My own, and my DH, were from situations where that didn't happen (and there was an affair on one side). The various factions couldn't be in the same room together, at events. It was 2 (times 2, for 4) of everything. We finally told them to grow the F up and that wasn't happening. The divorces were many years ago and they could move on and be civil at graduations, sports, events, etc. or they wouldn't be invited. The divorce was not our doing. And while it isn't yours, it is yours to deal with (unfortunately).

You have to find a way to make it work at some point. PIck your battles. And move on. For your kids. And for you.

Good luck. [/quote]
