I have had to tell my children tonight that their dad is leaving me for another woman.
I am devastated.
We have been married since 2004 and had our DC by IVF.
My DD 7yrs and DS 5years are devastated .
I lost my job last week.
I'm terrified of losing our beloved house.
He has 2 children from a previous marriage - he left their mother and had a fling with this woman.
Then he met me.
After the birth of DD I developed post natal depression - he has told me that when she was nine months and we were going through a bad patch (because of my PND and lack of support from him) he had gone back to her when he had told me he was staying in a hotel to get some space to think things through.
Obviously I now realise that he put me at risk of STDs.
I have not been an angel through this - I have said some upsetting things to him when I have been angry with
him for being emotionally detached and distant which made him feel unloved and uncared for but at the same
time I have always loved and
cared for him and tried the best for our family.
I went through IVF to have children with him ( I am fertile - he had a vasectomy with first wife ). I had pre eclampsia, miscarried a twin early in pregnancy , and have done my utmost best in my role as stepmother ( it got me no-where with either of his 2 first children or him.)
I am registered disabled with fibromyalgia and am terrified of being a single mother.
My DC found a text message from her in his phone this morning - she complained of having a sore bum obviously because they had rampant sex yesterday .
How will I manage financially?
What things do I need to do to protect myself ?
I feel like a total failure as a mother and a wife and I'm obviously not worth anything.
