I tell myself to be strong for me and the children. That we can get through our family being ripped apart. At first I thought we could salvage our relationship, keep going to counseling, and pull through this even stronger than before but, he wants his old life back. Parties, other women, no responsibilities. Here I am with three kids, fourth on the way, trying to finish my degree, and trying to heal my broken heart. The past 3 years have been so painful with all of the lies he told me, him cheating on me even while I was pregnant with our first son, and the embarrassment.

Hi 4life........I am not sure I know what to say, but I wanted you to know I am praying for you. So young to have three children and a fourth one on the way, and to be facing doing it alone! I pray that if he indeed wants his "old life back" (he won't....even if he leaves, his "old life" is no more....things are different now in ways he cannot change or reverse!) that he will at least be of some help financially and emotionally/physically for his children. I will pray for your strength and faith and healing. The Lord is with you....my prayer is that you feel His prescience beside you every step of the way!

I am praying for you. Remember that you are not diminished in God's eyes because of his actions.

Thank you both so much for your prayers and responding to my comment. It's so hard because I try to be nice and when I do he gets so mean and hurtful. I have all of these strong painful emotions and thoughts. I am doing a good job of trying to stay calm and let God take care of the whole situation. Sometimes I am doing great and then there are moments that I am praying to make it to the next minute. I'm not scared to do this by myself because even with him I was alone. He never helped with the kids and even though he had the job and I live off of student loans I still had to pay more financially. It just hurts me that no matter what I did, stayed beside him through everything even when he would rip my heart out, and tried to make him happy, I meant nothing to him, the kids meant nothing to him and the only thing he could ever focus his time and energy on was impressing other people mainly other women.
