I'm probably heading for divorce... I feel so empty

There is a chance it won't happen, but most likely will. I feel like I lost my confidant, my one safe space. And I cry every time I think about the days I wouldn't see my kids. If it happens we agreed to 50/50, but I've never gone without my kids for more than a night. She said she doesn't know what she wants, that she still loves me, but I feel like I lost my best friend. And I'm worried my kids will drift away from me. I could lose everything.

Logically I know things should work out, but it sure doesn't feel that way.

@Namesaresohard You are at a very dangerous time in your life. For your own sanity and the lives of everyone else, simply choose to walk away. Don't get in a fight with her over child custody. Tell your kids you love them but that you won't get in a nasty child custody fight. Tell them that when they become 18-years-old that you can have a relationship if that's what they want. Don't force the issue. Be prepared to pay some hefty child support, which will piss you off if you don't get to spend some meaningful time with the kids.

You read about such cases everyday. Don't become one.
