I have been in a relationship for 20 years. My ex has been lying, cheating and now I have to have a restraining order to get him out of the house. He has been abusing me physically, verbally, emotionally and same for my children. Now, he has a rebound girlfriend with 2 kids, he met on-linne a few weeks, before we broke up. Now, he is seeking custody of the children. We had a very tearful 2-1/2 years going thru up & down and refuse to separate until I took action. Somedays, I feel really emotionally drained, but he had a few affairs and it is all my fault. After spending 20 years with someone whom you built your foundation and future with, it is emotional damage. I recognised that the relationship wasn't working, but why will my ex-husband abuse me so much infront of my children. He even bring his rebound girlfriend at the soccer game within 1 month of the break-up. Knowing that I still have feeling for him. Not only am I dealing with the loss, but seeing him with the rebound girlfriend...He even have my children met the rebound girlfriend the first week, he got involved with her. What kind of an ass will do that? I am going for a messy divorce...
