Guest Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 My wife and I divorced in May 2006. I filed for the divorce 8 months earlier when she left me and our two small children to be with her new love interest. I have been trying to raise our two kids and work two jobs to keep my head above water ever since then. Words can't express the hell I've been through. My ex-wife hasn't seen our children for a year. The couple of times I have tried to "reunite" them have failed because my ex-wife came up with excuses at the last minute to not see the children. Both times the kids were devastated to say the least. I don't care anymore that she walked out of my life but it breaks my heart, angers me, and frustrates me that she has chosen to turn her back on her own children. What do I tell my kids when they ask about "mommy"? Where is she and why she doesn't want to see them? My little boy is starting to think he did something wrong to drive mommy away and my daughter is starting to resent her for not being there for her. My children are searching for answers, trying to make sense of what has happened in their lives. I don't know what to tell them because I can't make sense of any of it myself. My children are 5 and 7 years old. Any advice would be appreciated.
