So I decided to tell my children about the divorce...

Impresaria

I'm your huckleberry.
It has been on my heart to tell my children that Dad and I are divorcing. This morning, I told my oldest sons, who are 14 and 13. My heart was beating and I was nervous, but the obvious couldn't be denied and I know that my boys are not fools. So I told them. I'm not going to go into detail about what I said, it was what they told me a few hours ago that took the cake.

I guess they had all day to think about it, but they wanted to ride to the grocery store with me and that's when they told me about their Dad's "friend". This woman has been in my home, she has combed my daughter's hair, she has gone with my husband and children to the mall, all while I was in Iraq. I don't know this woman from Jack, but I know her voice, because it was her messages that were on his cell phone that started this whole chain of events. I have never met her in my life, and she is certainly not any friend of our family, nor a friend of mine.

My son's told me how sometimes they would get up in the morning to go to school and their Dad wouldn't EVEN BE HOME. He'd leave when they were sleeping. This explains the 20 or more absences that they had from school. He'd show up well in the afternoon with his "friend". The thing that alerted them that something was very wrong with this "friendship" is when she came over, and after being here for a few minutes, my husband sent all of the children to the park...while he and "friend" stayed back at my house. When they came back home, the doors were locked. UNBELIEVABLE!! There is more to it, but this is the most important part--my children have been holding this in for months. While I was gone, their grades dropped significantly and they just seemed like they wanted to tell me something whenever I would call. They told me this evening that they didn't want to say anything until they knew what was going on with me and Dad, because they didn't want to "influence" my decision.

Can you believe this? Children--poor babies, walking around with this burden, and having to suck it up and deal with it. And my soon-to-be-ex deserves a special place in Hades. I really don't care anymore all that much about what he has done to me. Well, I care, but it has only been meditation and constant prayer that has kept me from seriously going the **** off. But see, now, he has ****ed with my children. And that has me madder than anything. Here I was the whole time thinking of how I was going to tell them, and it turns out that they were right in the thick of things as they were happening. This really saddens me tonight. Things like this are unforgivable. There are some marriages that just HAVE TO END. And mine is a prime example of what happens when a man loses his GOT DAMN mind and any sense of decency. I knew that he was sleeping with her, but I had no idea that she was in my home on in my childrens' lives. What kind of man is this?

Hmmmmmphhhhh......
 
Hit him hard during that divorce girl. I'm really sorry that sh*t went down like that. Keep your head up and this too shall pass.
 
This really hurt my heart when I read it. That is so selfish of him to put the kids in all of that. I can just imagine that what they saw is going to stick with them for sometime. How dare he do that to his sons and to you. I will pray that everything works out well for you and the boys.

I have been there w/ very similar circumstances. I am so very sorry.

It will take a while to wrap your brain around all of the How's and Why's, but eventually you will stop trying to understand and move to acceptance. ( I promise, you will)

Do whatever you need to get the healing you deserve. Betrayal is a serious emotion that you never understand, but you learn to accept.

God Bless!
 
Oh my goodness, I know this was something huge for you to share this here. I'm so sad for your babies being caught in the middle so to speak. They shouldn't have been subjected to that foolishness by their own father at all :nono:. I wonder did he stop to think how his action affect the emotional and mental well-being :(

Unbelievable :nono:. He has shown total disrespect for his family.
 
I just can't believe it. That a grown man would put his d*ck before the welfare of his children?! What is wrong with him?

I am so so sorry this happened to you, and I am glad you are getting rid of him. (((((spicedtee))))).
 
I am shocked and fell for you ESPECIALLY since you were across the world fighting for our country and our safety.
I'll pray for you!!!
 
I am so sorry about this, SpicedTee! That's horrible. I hate that your babies had to be subjected to something like this! Geez...talk about selfish?! I am amazed that he was leaving them home alone overnight and failing to get them to school all for some ***! :sad:

the bolded is what kills me too :nono: women like his 'friend' come and go (we won't even speak on her obvious lack of scruples), but your babies are your babies FOR LIFE, and parents should always be looking out for the best interests of the children...

missing school puts children at a disadvantage, and i'm glad you'll be the one primarily making sure that your kids are getting the education that they need and deserve :yep:

please take this clown to the cleaners in that divorce! get as much child support as you can and make sure that order is enforced!
 
I'm saying though.

You know, I almost wish I could find a reason for his behavior, to make some sense out of it. I am going to be painfully honest:

I haven't done anything to him.

I think that he has resented me, PERIOD. I think that whatever ugliness he has in him wants to systematically destroy my spirit. He acts as if he hates me and everything that I represent. I don't know what he is so angry about, but whatever it is, I am not interested in helping him through it. What is so sickening is the freakish quality this has all taken, he is making a mockery of our family, and if I told you everything you would think this was some Jerry Springer mess. You can never really know what is happening in peoples' marriages. Because I refuse to tell all the messy details, I have family members whispering that I am the one breaking up our "happy" home. What a joke...
 
Wow I had tears in my eyes reading your posts just imagining what your kids were going through. I know this is a big relief for them too because they were keeping it all inside. As for your ex, let that chick have him. Any man that would put some woman over his kids don't deserve you or the kids anyway!!! ((((HUGS)))) to you and thanks for sharing because I know it was hard. I am looking forward to you updating us on the future fabness your life is about to become for you and your kids. Q
 
I am so angry for you! How dare he disrespect you and neglect those children like that!

How dare he?

God have mercy on his soul, that is beyond foul. Leaving those babies alone like that!!
 
SpicedTee it made me very sad to read your post, but just know that God has something better for you, and he never deserved you in the first place.

The best "revenge" is for you and your children to be happy.

Thru this union, it appears that you have given birth to some great, mature, loving children.

I would take the high road in the situation, you know every dog has its day, and one day you will be there to see his day..
 
My prayers go out to you and your children. God tells us that vengeance is His, so you walk out of that marriage with your head high and continue to raise your children with high standards and values.
 
I am so sorry that all this is happening to you and your kids. It is obvious that your soon to be ex was not thinking clearly at all....to that women before his kids :nono:.

It must have been very confusing for your kids, move on stronger for yourself and for them.
 
SpicedTee, I am so sorry for your children. This man had no regards to them at all. I am praying for you and your children.
 
WOW! I couldn't believe all this as I was reading it. God truly protected your children while you were away. Anything could have happened while he left them alone. Just recently here in Maryland, some sicko was caught at night in a child's room, laying in wait to drug the boy and molest him. The father (thank God) smelled the scent of whatever drug that the fool had on the rags and went into the room and found him before anything happened.

You will get through this. Just know that your kids have lifted this burden off their hearts. You will be so much stronger when you get through all of this. Never forget we are here for you and I will keep you and your children in my prayers!
 
:( I am really sorry this happened to you and your babies. This kind of reminds me of my situation with my ex-husband. Their father was selfish as hell, disrepectful, neglectful behind some damn woman....... and for the woman to allow herself to be involved in this mess :nono: I pray that you and your children come out of this situation even stronger.
 
That's so very sad SpiceTree. Your kids should not have had to go through that. Your soon to be ex seems like such a bad man. How could he do that to his sons and how could he teach his daughter that it's OK for a man to do that. He has no self respect.
 
When one window closes, a door opens somewere. I am glad you decided to leave him, you are opening an opportuinity for a good man in your life.

ITA, Take the high road his day will come.
 
Wow!!!!! How ubfortunate for someone to be so f***ing senseless. And for the kids to have to carry that burden really pisses me off. Sorry this has happened to you. I will keep you and your kids in my prayers.
(((HUGS)))
 
((((SpicedTee)))) I have no words, but you and your children will be in my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine how you must be feeling...and your poor babies. That is the part that just breaks my heart. :nono: I couldn't imagine having to hold that in for all that time...being locked out of my own house by my own father.

Your hubby is going to burn in hell for this.
 
Ive been waiting and waiting to hear updates. Have you filed divorce proceedings? I cant wait for that man to be out of your lives permanently. What a SOB. Those poor kids. This is so sickening.

Hmmmmmphhhhh......


I was crying mad for your kids :mad: as I read this. To think that they had to go thru holding that in.....whew. We "adults" sure know how to mess them up. Will be praying for you and your precious children :bighug:
 
My chin just hit my desk! I cannot believe the audacity of this man. What does he have to say about it all?
 
I am pretty PO'd. Just awful.

You take the high road while I bust open his head with a sock full of nickels down to the white meat.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your kids. Take care.
 
Girl, I am steaming mad reading your post. Your soon to be ex husband is no kind of man...he's a spoiled child who has no respect for his family.

Those poor babies...:nono: I know their feelings for their father have been foreever changed by what they witnessed. And you know someday he's going to wonder why he doesn't have an honest close relationship with his kids.

My prayer is that you and the kids will have a happy and fulfilling life without this deadweight dragging you all down...and he will reap what he has sowed. Believe that.
