It will be rough, but its possible. Hugs! Its been over 2 years since the split 9 months since the divorce finalized. Cs is a need must have help. Every weekend to every other weekend visits help. Or a week here week there, midation can help with the schedual kinks. But trust me, my exh said the same thing and was having an affair with my married ex friend. It will be rough, there will be highs and lows. But it will get easier. I didnt believe it when it first happened when my friends who have been there said it would. But it does, and its still an up hill battle at times but one foot in front of the other will get you far. Food stamps housing help and child care help is out there. I used them till I could get my feet back under me. And now im looking to buy my own first house. Me a single mom! Hugs!

Sorry to hear, that must be tough. I would say to seek some family, friends or community support and start bulding an emotional support base first. Once you conquer the emotional aspect of things for you and your sons then you can look into resources for everything else. He will still have responsibilities and obligations to you all. Hang in there.

 I have been a single mom to two boys so I know how you feel. You can do this! Just keep your focus on yourself and your boys.
