I just decided to check how is the forum going after so many years and I am very sad to see this thread.

This sounds terrible, Nick, and I know there is hardly any quick remedy. We've never met but I know you are a great guy who deserves much better than what this woman has made you go through.

I second the advice not to go into the dark path of alcohol/ self-depression and similar as it will never be a solution. If there weren't any kids, what I would've also recommend, based on what you have shared, to communicate only via your lawyer and cut off any contact with her, but that would be nearly impossible. I think you should try though to make the case that she is not stable and therefore not reliable as a mother. Consult with your lawyer if there is any chance to win full custody?

Anyway, stay strong and a new light will come soon enough, I am sure!

So sorry, my Northern Neighbor. Hope you are well, mentally and physically, and that things are improving daily.

Yesterday the divorce was finalized. She restored her maiden name and we split bank accounts. I am completely moved into my apartment and she is renting a small house a few miles away. We swap the kids on Sundays at 3pm. We sold the house in 48 hours, and the buyer paid straight cash.

I am still quite sad, and the breakup remains a tough pill to swallow. I have dated around a little already but I truly don't feel ready to emotionally commit to another person. I often think back to good memories and good times with my ex-wife and wonder how it's even possible to love again. It's going to take a lot of time to heal. The kids are mostly okay, although my neurodivergent son is having some behavioral troubles at school lately.

However, on a different note, I'm heading to Florida tomorrow for my first race of the season. I'm feeling prepared and planning on having a great trip with my father. Hopefully this is the last update I make in this bummer of a thread. I am in charge of my destiny, and the outcome of my next chapter is entirely up to me. I have a few big goals rattling around in my head, hopefully I can bring them to fruition. I appreciate all the TA's who responded here, reached out, PM'd me elsewhere, or sent any sympathetic thoughts my way. It's not an accident that I've been browsing this forum for 16 years. Thank you all.
