The father of my two children and I seperated three weeks ago. It has been difficult for me due to the fact that I had to flee with my children for the sake of our safety and well-being. I have obtained through the court temporary sole legal and physical custody of my two children while awaiting the trial that will define my custody of them.
My two little boys were acting up at first when they noticed that their father wasn't around and my oldest asked for him a lot, being that his father's name happens to be one of the few words he knows. That was in the beginning. They have now stopped asking for him at all. I find it heart-breaking that the person they love doesn't even bother to call my family to ask how they are doing. When they see a car that resembles his, they look in the driver's side window to see if he's in there.
I'm just glad to have gotten out of that dangerous relationship and that my children won't have to suffer. They are suffering though because they are aware that their father will not be with them anymore. It is just a sad and difficult situation and I am trying my best to make sure that it doesn't negatively affect them.
