I am happy that I finally left him but I am finding guilt in my heart about my children. My older one was so emotionally upset and was out of control he is 14 and my younger one who is 9 took it a lot better. My older one is now living with his father. To make a long story short they were going to put him into foster care and I did not want that and for the love of my son I gave him up :(. But from time to time I look into my lil ones eyes and see the tears flowing and feel so bad that they have to go thru these hard times worse than we are ourselves. I sometimes wonder "Will they get over it". I don’t think children ever do, honestly I wish I could have avoided their pain. It breaks my heart that he had to be separated from his brother they are only 2 of them and I cant have any more children. I begged my older one to stop acting out and that this will happen but he never believed the courts would separate them. I have some peace in my life but I feel bad that they were separated and I am afraid sooner or later the older one will brainwash my lil one to come live with him and his father. Its 2 against one. I show him my undying love and we have fun but I notice when he speaks with his brother he changes from being happy to sad. I don’t know what to do I just know I left and abusive husband and could not take anymore. But the children hurt the most, people tend to forget that there are children involved and please try to be civil amongst yourselves in front of them!
I did not want my children to see me go through that emotional and physical abuse, I tried to show them that kind of behavior is unacceptable and it gets you thrown in jail. They do love their father but he wasn’t a father...all he cared about was making money. I did everything for them I was their mother and father he had no idea where their doctors office's are or the park down the road. Its sad, when I look back, children need both parents in their lives, life is too short to just let it pass you by, you must make time to share with your children because they grow so fast and you miss those years. Have any of you had it hard watching you kids going through divorce and how long did it take them to accept it (not get over it, I truly think they never do)? Thanks.
