'I regret not being strong enough to break it off before we reached the altar. I knew it wasn't forever, and I never loved her.'
"We were married for 10 years. After a few years, he put everything before his family — work, hobbies, and friends. I begged and begged him to spend time with me and our kids. NOPE. Everything else was more important. He went outside our marriage, so I did as well...and I instantly regretted it. I regret the way our divorce went down. I regret being an emotional and mental punching bag for him. I regret not standing up for myself. I regret our lack of communication.
"Co-parenting is important whether you are divorced or married, and the gritty stuff shouldn't fall on one parent. It was more important to my ex to be the favorite parent than it was to ensure our child had the discipline she needed. As a result, our child got into trouble that his bullying can't get her out of.""I don't wish I had never married him because we have two precious daughters together, but I wish I had divorced him sooner.
"I got left high and dry with four kids still at home. His child support is never enough. I work four jobs because they flex around my needs as a single parent. I have no backup. I have to be there if school is out because of the weather or if a child is sick. My job has to allow unlimited parenting space. He does nothing except play 'super dad' in the summer. If the adult kids are having a hard day and need to talk, I'm on the phone until 3:00 a.m. I get back up at 6:00 a.m.
