If you had killed several pedestrians on the way home in your car that night, would you now be moaning about the consequences for those actions?

Welcome to SR inabadway. Seems like you have a lot on your plate. First things first- important you're realizing you have a problem. I'd stop focusing on the negativity of the children's mother as that's going to lead you nowhere. Whether you like it or not, these kids are going to be in your life- nothing you can do it about that- but you can change things about yourself. It seems like you know you need to make some changes... and that's the first step. Good job.
lmao

Maybe try focuson getting sober instead of skating the woman you got pregnant.
That could be a start. In my experience blaming other people for our shortfalls is a quick route to more drinking.
Children are a blessing. I hope you realise this eventually and take responsibility.
I wish you well on your journey. I also wish the woman a healthy pregnancy. She needs support right now.

Ugh, this thread is almost a trigger for me. Sheesh. I don't have anything supportive to say to the OP because I am feeling so sorry for his future children.
I also hear the alcoholic voice so strongly here blaming anyone and everyone else, desperate to find an excuse to keep drinking. The self pity is toxic. Please feel sorry for the true "victims" here, those poor little babies who have a father who has such an attitude about them.
Think outside yourself and do what is right for them. And that is WAY more than money. They aren't going to want your money or even care about it for a long time. They are going to want a loving father. Being rich doesn't exclude you from being able to screw up your life. Missing out on your children's lives is a good way to screw up.
Get sober. Love those kids. Buy some condoms.
Best of luck.

Being rich will help you greatly in achieving sobriety. Many times my son would return to using because he never received the proper rehabs. Is it possible this women wanted to get pregnant from you? Research the top rehabs in the U.S. and get there as soon as you can.

That's what is NOT feasible.
If you want real help and not just an audience for your self imposed pity, I'm your girl.
Otherwise, buzz off. Pun intended.
