Country Woman agony auntSweetheart he is not supporting you and your children emotionally and if he is cheating on you and spending money on another woman then he does not care anymore.

Surely you can get some financial help from the government or something as other single mothers must get support or he must be made to pay for his children in some way if you decide to go down this route.

Have you checked out your legal rights at all?

You need to start making a plan and finding out what help you can get, don't tell him what you are doing right now just get yourself organised as you may be suprised what you are entitled to, they are his children and he must have to support them financially.

You say you need him financially but from the sounds of things that is all you need him for as he has deceived you and after driving for 8 hours to be with him and he had lied to you I think I would be angry not depressed. You need to find your inner strength as that is what will make you strong and that is what you need. Don't let him make you feel so depressed he is the one who has cheated and so you have nothing to feel bad about.

You are the victim here and you need to make him pay - well financially I mean. There must be some sort of legal service or support network that can advise you of your legal rights.

Just start to feel a little angry inside and you will feel stronger believe me.

Here for you if you ever need to chat OK.
