Yep, it had to happen, Kasia, my estranged wife, is now living with another guy, pregnant by him, and no doubt be trying her level best to take my children of me. Round one went underway, while I was chatting to Wuddy this morning. Kids are fine and at home after a visit from the police this evening.

Fingers crossed she will take the hint she is not welcome here.

Oh, and this has been going on for months, and part of the reason I've been unable to join in as much as I would like on some projects. But, I've been forced to cut my time for EAW more and more, and when I do have free time, like now, writing a post is all I feel like doing.

deadhorse You see Ralf, and Tony, there is always a story behind the story. frown

Sending sympathy to you and your children, John. What a bummer the cops got involved.
Best of Luck going forward.

Hello John,

This has been happening to other friends of ours. Solidarity mate. The only good thing is that you may now have hit the bottom. The good thing about that is that you can now stand up straight and carry on. You know how the land lies.

As little use as they are, we send our best wishes in this tough time.

Moggy DCM

Hi John

I’m very sorry about what has happened, but if the marriage doesn’t work it’s better to separate IMHO. I did that myself a couple of years ago, and have never regretted it!
It’s a hard time to go through and especially for the children.

I sincerely hope everything will work out for the best.

Take care and you can count on our support if you need it!

All the best

Per

Hi Guys.

This is the last thing I wanted, but Kasia has left me no option. I really feel bad about doing what I've had to, but it's either she takes the kids and destroys their lives, or they stay with me and live in their family home, with contacts with friends and school.

When forced the choose is easy, my children first. frown

Geez Col G,

I am very sorry you had to go through all of that. My marriage caused me some grief a while back, and some things are just unforgivable and unforgetable.

Wish I had some advice for you, only to stay cool, because its probably not over yet. Too bad children are involved, but you seem like a level headed chap, I'm sure the kids are well taken care of.

S!

Buddy, I think most of us have gone through similar and understand the hurt. So don't feel bad about posting it here. We will understand. I went through one and it was no fun.
