Hi,
One of those occasional visits - you know the selfish one asking for your thoughts and prayers without participating

I am not going to pretend that life is easy - hasn't been for a while.
However my life has altered somewhat over the last month or two, just before I was about to give up.
I split from my wife about a 15 months ago, as I could no longer stand the situation.
Anyway 6 weeks ago my daughter (11) turned up on my doorstep asking to live with me, as she hated being with her mum

My younger son (9) followed the same evening. I had just got back from a weeks holiday!!
They both have a lot of problems, and I did not realise how bad a time they had been having, whilst I was not there.
I am now at the stage where we start our first of several court hearings to decide the future of the children and everything else from the marriage.
I am working hard with the children, but as a single parent feel very much on my own. I discover new problems daily as to how they have been treated, which resulted in them not attending school etc. and behaving in strange ways.
I am sure I am still not at the bottom of the problems and things will get even worse before they get better.
This has totally changed my life and the time that I have to run my own business and work on websites etc.
I am also disabled with ME/CFS so get mentally and physically drained at times.
However I am determined to fight for the children and to help them in every way that I can.
Sadly as is often the case, the other side are using every tactic available to them to try and win both the divorce and the custody - which means things are getting dirty

If you think there is too much info in this post - please feel free to edit it.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and thoughts - it is so easy to wish to give up - however for now I have a very good reason to fight on. If I loose then that is a totally different matter & it will be a no-brainer!
