For a bit of context, please read: http://ift.tt/2wC711J has been almost two weeks since it all went down, and I felt like I needed to give everyone here a bit of an update. As advised, I took the kids to a therapist. We've had a couple of sessions so far, and while things are improving, I think at least one of my boys hates me. Whether it's for lying to him, or whether he blames me I'm not sure. The other two are starting to warm back up to me again and I think they're seeing the bigger picture now.Also as suggested, I got myself a lawyer. She's not cheap, but so far she has been worth every penny. Even though it's not really her job, she checks in with me every couple of days to make sure things are improving. Together we've collected a bunch of evidence and are slowly building a case against the wife. I'm hoping to keep custody of all three kids ideally, but if the third keeps hating me he can go live with his mom (I jest).So I think on those fronts things are looking up for us as a family. I did have one pretty major screw up this week. The two eldest boys had parent teacher interviews this week, and as the only (active) parent it fell on me to go an speak to the teachers. One teacher in particular, a fine young woman, was quite concerned about my eldest's behaviour at school recently. I sort of broke down in front of her and told her everything that has been going on. The nights a little blurry, but things escalated and I ended up going home with her later that evening. There was a hefty amount of alcohol involved, but one thing I know for sure is we ended up sleeping together. Maybe I should just forget about that night, but part of me feels guilty. I mean, I've now porked my eldest's teacher and I'm still legally married. Am I now the evil parent?Thank you to everyone here for helping me get through this. Despite everything, I'm starting to feel happy again.tl;dr: Kids still hate me, but getting better. Got a lawyer and things are looking good. Porked my sons teacher. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2iZ666r
