The point is you wouldn't be giving up on your kids.Ruler of The World wrote:Even if we sold up for £300k, £170k would sort the debts out I think then of the 130k left she would demand about £110K of it! What's the point? Do you have any idea how much divorces cost? That would wipe me out completely.
Tonight I've got the undignified job of moving back into my mothers having been kicked out by my missus of 17 years last summer ( who I've had 4 kids with ) because I can't afford to continue living were I am. I'm saddled with Debt I ran up for her and I left with nothing but a few bags of clothes, she kept everything else for the kids sake.
On top of that last year my Dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer and is now in the final stages were he looks a shadow of his former self at what I'd guess is about 5 to 6 stone in weight.
I've been fucking down these last 6 months, really down, I've pretty much given up playing as this was used as 1 reason why the Ex wanted me gone, she was happy with the money but not my time spent away. So I've pretty much turned off from fruits, My life currently revolves around going to work, seeing the kids when I can and either sitting in my bedroom or just getting pissed, it's total wank and sometimes very lonely, but I'd never give up on my Kids, I brought them into the world, It's my job to keep them safe as they grow into Adults. So face your problems, don't run from them or expect other people to bail you out of them, start again and eventually it'll get better.
If you've made any good friends, which luckily I have, they'll be around to get you through it, maybe not financially but in other ways they will. Some of mine have been absolute diamonds.
Now enough daft talk of life expectancy and such. Take a grip of yourself pal.
