My twopennorth worth.....
I don't understand the point of this thread. It's almost as though the op seeks reassurance from strangers that he's doing the right thing.
There was a time when the three small kids would take priority over everything and people would stay together.
But that resulted in many unhappy people, and the world has moved on.
No one on here knows the circumstances, but I have to say my sympathies would tend to lie with the poor mother, left with three kids to bring up on her own. Wherever the fault lies.
Good point, did you grown up living with parents who hated each other? do you think you would of had a happy childhood if you did?
Its also my intention to BE the single parent not the other way round, but in the eyes of the law mother always wins custody maybe you will see me in a Batman suit ontop of a building near you!!
