I posted earlier about what has been going on. My stbxah is being criminally charged with threat to commit a crime on my daughter. I know I am doing the right thing but i am really struggling with this. He is going to have this on his record for the rest of his life. Then I think of ky poor kids that have dealt with him for a long time. The yelling. The drunkeness. The verbal abuse to me and them. It was getting worse so I had to put my kids first.

They have their whole life in front of them. I don't want them in the same situation I was in for 23 years. Married 20.

These guilty feelings have to go away. I just want to cry because I should have done it 5 years ago when I first changed the locks.

Then yesterday I found out he has been with another woman even before I filed divorce and got the RO. He always accused me of cheating he was accusing me cuz he was the one cheating.

I know its right what I'm doing but my emotions still get the beat of me. Uugghhh.

Think I will go to sleep tomorrow is another day. Can't wait to see ky psycholgist on Friday. I hope tomorrow is better.

Thanks all for listening.

I just wanted you to know you were heard, understood and I think you are doing the right thing of taking care of you (with all of it).

For what it's worth, I think you are doing the right thing as well.

Having this on his record forever is his doing, not yours. You are just doing your job as a mother. Protecting your children who have no choice in this.

I know how hard it is though having to make that call on someone you love.

In my opinion, your feelings are just, coming from an alchy, it really is the best thing. Take care of #1 and her offspring. A mothers primal instinct. I salute you for that.
