Me and my soon to be ex have 3 children which range from 2 to 9 years old, we have been together for 10 years, i have always had a great job, he wont keep a job, this has gone on for 10 years which means that i always have to carry the load, after that i found out that he had started using cocain, he said that he doesnt anymore but i know he does, I love him but i am so upset with him that he hasent been a provider for his family, my family thinks i am stupid because i always keep letting him back in, but not this time. How do i handel this situation? He hasent called the kids or anything and it's getting close to x-mas, I am just filled with this anger, how do i get over it and move on?

I agree with ncshoppe, you are lucky to have a great job and great children. Listen to your family. If he has a drug addiction and not a strong work ethic this is not the example of a father figure you want your kids to see. I am sorry what you are going through during the Holidays but do not dwell on the fact that he has not called. Keep your kids busy with shopping, looking at Christmas lights and being around family and friends. They are lucky to have you.

Hi. I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. I gather your soon to be ex is not living with you anymore? It is excellent that you have a good job to support yourself and your 3 children- I did the same alone for 10 years. How long have you been separated? How are the kids doing? Maybe he is waiting for Christmas Day to call (or show up). What was he like at previous Christmas's? It will take time for you to get over the anger. You have to focus on the important things - your children & yourself.
