You might want to think about changing this to something more mature just in case.

Damn that’s a rough age for divorce for no kids. Old enough to fully understand what’s happening and not nearly old enough to understand why.

I would start by wiping this kind of shite from your vocab

their whore mother


It’s over and you need to do your best to have a loving supportive household for your kids. You may have to fake it but they need to see a happier and consistent dad than before. Everything they know is over, try and be a rock that they can count on in their new reality.

Therapy could help anyone, but it’s expensive and you to want it to help.

Still finishing up my divorce but the best advice I can give you has already been given. Definitely seek counseling for you and the kids. If your ex is a pos, you won’t have to point it out to them. Turn the custody swap into a healthy competition where you spend as much time as possible on your kids..:that means actually interacting with them instead of posting on here or watching Netflix. Your kids WILL eventually mention this to their mother and she will be forced to do the same. Whatever you invest in now will return in spades later so choose wisely.

When I went the my divorce, my two were 4 and 8. My 4 yo daughter had the most issues. We brought them both to therapy and it helped. The 4 yo had issues for about a year afterwards but it got better.

However, the ex and I were mostly civil and tolerant of one another.

Heres my advice..don't seek advice from those who also went through a divorce.

Seek advice from those who are the kids of divorced parents.

Also, seek professional help. Get counseling for you and the kids and stop calling your ex a whore..in private, in your head on a message board or anywhere else. Your kids will always be able to sense the hostility.

Looking forward. When you have them map out things to do. Be the bigger person and take the high road.
And don’t bring other women around on your kids time. Women are greedy little shits

We are trying one week on one week off




I know people whose kids have struggle with this. I've seen some success with rotating schedule like this (after school exchange):

Mom - Every Monday, Tuesday
Dad - Every Wednesday, Thursday

Rotate every other Friday, Saturday, Sunday

So one week they are with their Mother after school on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. They go to the Dad's Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday...


If one household has some parenting (or lack there of) issues, they are only in it for 5 days at a time, rather than 7.

You need to make sure that you are reconciled to God first. Bring all of your request to Him. Pray for your children. Forgive your wife and do not be embittered toward her. Pray for your wife.

Satan is attacking you and your family. Repent and put your trust in Jesus to bring you through this.
I will pray for you and your family

But what if she really was? What if she cheated nonstop on the OP? Don’t you think he has a right to feel bitter and call a spade a spade?




If he is posting about it here, I would say you can assume one of the following. Either this is a troll attempt or the OP is not blameless. I'm going with option one

Look, I don't care what you think of her or what you do in your spare time. But if you're about to go through a divorce, you should button up your social media immediately. References to cannabis and whores would be something to address. That kind of stuff can and will be used against you.

It’s already been pretty well covered but I’ll throw out this link by Child Mind Institute that goes a little more in-depth in what you’re likely going to see from your kid’s emotionally and behaviorally. They’re also in that 6-12 age range that probably handles divorce the worst (as said they’re old enough to know something is going on but too young to truly understand it). They absolutely need counseling.

Also keep in mind that you’re going to have to co-parent with that “whore mother” for the next couple of decades. So you need to reconcile for yourself either through counseling or whatever that the situation is what it is.

Or he could plant a bag of coke on the wife’s person and call the law . When she bonds out do it again and then you won’t have to worry about her for 2-5 years

My advice is to have this thread deleted, and if possible have your posting history here deleted.

Then I would get the kids into therapy. Then I would stop referring to their mother that way. Whatever your feelings are about her, she’s still their mother.

This. Lived it. Saw it happen. The kids will see it eventually, but be warned, it may take years.
