I am so happy that your girls took the news so well. I think that you are right, they did know what was going on. They may not know or understand the details but they knew something was not right. Children are so much more intelligent, observant and intuitive than we give them credit for. I am so happy that you are taking care of this now. You and your husband are teaching them how a relationship should be. If they grow up seeing an unhealthy relationship and accepting that is “normal” then they are more likely to be in a relationship like that.

I know that it is the last thing on your mind right now, but once you’ve healed from this relationship, find a wonderful man that will treat you how you deserve to be treated so that they learn what a healthy relationship is.

I think that it is wonderful that you still have faith that your soon to be ex-husband will treat you fairly, but make sure that you are looking out for yourself. His history indicates that he is going to do what he damn well wants with little regard to you or your girl’s feelings. Good luck to you all!
