I am sorry you are going through this, the divorce is hard enough but to deal with illness has to make it even harder.

Everyone reacts differently...you can continue to be scared and helpless and hopeless or you can try and figure it out to be strong and move forward. I assume your STBX has a job??? If so, he will probably have to pay child support which will help towards the care of the children. You aren't the only parent. Even though he drinks, cheats, etc, he will still be responsible for support to the children.

It can be scary to be alone but it can also be strengthening. In the sense you dont have to put up with his cheating, his disrespect or drinking, you only have to rely on yourself and what you want and how you want to do it. You can do this, if not what is your alternative???

If you can't do this, what will happen to you, your kids & your home? Sometimes when we see it slipping away we get the strength to pull it all back together.

You can be strong but it will be hard. Do you have friends, family you can have support you?

Have you gotten legal counsel on how the assets, child support etc will be administered? The more you know about that part of it, the better off you will be and not left in the unknown which is also very scary.

I wish you luck.
