As someone who has been divorced twice, the second time with a child (not mine) involved, its never a fun time. But to go through 8 years of it while looking after two children is amazing. You have done an an amazing job, and there's no one to tell you that.
The last time I spoke to my step-son he told me that his Mother told him he could not call me Dad any more or tell me that he loved me. That nearly broke me, but I never bad mouthed her, nor challenged her guardianship, as probably would have resulted in he going into care.
So walked away.
A coward. Yes.
Love your writing, and am now in greater admiration. If you're down Dover way, let me know.

Have a good day at the match today.
Great post mate, hoping mine is finalised by Xmas or soon after.
Keep up the great work, you're doing well by those kids, most important thing.
