For Unbelievable

Such a sad story. I feel for you. I can imagine how difficult it is with the children being in the middle of it. At least you now know what a sleaze he is and you should be glad to be rid of him. This too will pass and you will be wiser and stronger at the end of your pain. Already, you sound like a strong person.

If he does not support his children or give them any attention, then you should consider blocking him out of their lives too. That's too much negativity for children and it will affect them later on.

I hope you meet someone from your own culture one day. Please remember to be yourself. Do not change YOU to please anyone. If you feel a need to change for their benefit, then you'll know it's not the right person.
