Just be the best possible father you can be and if you and the rest will fall in line. Maybe not quite the way you want it but it is a great start.

Be prepared for bad things to be said about you by friends and family, but never retaliate. Then, in the end, your children will rally around you and you will have the final victory.

Sounds like excellent advice.

Best wishes, Mercury.

Sorry to hear about your situation, Mercury. Yahoo Bot's advice is good.
That was certainly my experience.

I am so sorry you are going through this, merc. Divorce is just hell, there's no way around it. Even worse when kids are involved. Eventually, it will get better, but it will take a while.

Probably no consolation whatever to you right now, Merc, but "been there, done that", and beastie is correct, "it gets better" (with time).

Having gone through two of these myself, I know where you are.

Hold on and get your friends around you. It does get better after some time. Think a year or two, to be realistic.

Drop into chat a lot and find people to talk with. That helps.
