    I ended my marriage just after 7 months ago, it had been dead a long time, and i just wanted out.Thought i would have a happier life on my own. Now i am riddled with guilt.
    We have 3 great kids, im starting to feel like i have wrecked their lifes. He (the dad) hardly ever comes to see the boys and i know they miss him so much. If i try to talk to him about this ,we just get into a bitter row.
    I am starting to run into trouble with money, well i have enough to get by on pay the bills,but i cant give the kids what they were used to getting. Dont want to ask anyone(family) for help it just makes me feel like ive failed even more.
    Right now i feel so selfish that im putting my kids through all this in the hope that one day i would be happy.
    I wont talk to anyone about my anxieties, because i dont want people thinking i cant cope.
    I just dont know how to sort things out, i just want some peace in my life just to be happy.

    Hello OP

    I am sorry to hear about that.
    However bad it may appear at the moment, it could have been and gotten worse (even for the kids) if you had stayed in the marriage - e.g. if there was frequent arguments.

    While it is tough now, hopefully things will improve. I'm sorry that their Da doesn't visit enough - while I find it hard to believe a father doesn't want to visit his kids, emotionally he may have trouble doing so due to the divorce.
    (not that its any excuse).

    Best of luck.
    Corm
