Divorce with very young children
If you divorced when your children were very young, how did/do you cope with regularly being apart from them? Do you regret having to split your time with them? I made a lot of sacrifices in order to be able to spend time with my children while they were very small; it has always been important to me to be a present and involved parent. I'm terrified of missing out on a lot of time with them, not being there if they need me etc. It would be really helpful to hear the reality of how others have found it.

Betrayal during pregnancy and postpartum
Hi all. My husband had an affair that started while I was pregnant and continued throughout our child's babyhood. It has brought up lots of things for me that are particular to being betrayed during that period of my life and my baby's life. The mods didn't think that this would be apply to enough members to justify its own place in 'I can relate'. I totally understand their reasoning and not having a dedicated space for it is absolutely fine. Unfortunately though hearing that has made me feel even more like some kind of pariah for my husband to have been able to do this. Please some other people tell me that I am not the only person in the world this has ever happened to?
