We will pray for you, and we all wish you well. But keep your eyes open and your head up. Like I told my soldiers who faced this, and so did I! I know you are hurt and some guys tend to submit to whatever to make the pain lessen... You have to keep you head straight and protect yourself. She made this decision, you have to advocate for yourself and your interest. This is the beginning of a fight, and it's time to get your head in the game. Get a good attorney or legal aid that will help you get a game plan laid out. You have four precious children, and you need to pursue what is best for them, and you! Remember that you have value, and your feelings count in all of this. Go after what is best, be that custody or at a minimum " SHARED PARENTING" do not settle for her being named as the custodian. I know this is hard to think about, but she has a head start on planning. Get you plan together and execute. Like I said, I have been through this, and you have to avoid getting down in the dumps. Now is the time to get your head in the game and protect yourself and your relationship with your children. You can feel overwhelmed with it later, now is the time to stand. I wish you the very best my friend, and we are all here for you.
