Focus on the Family Community: Relationships and Marriage: ready ...

my husband divorced me 7 years ago. we have 5? children (I have 7 children in all, i had 2 children when we met)and he pays no child support. He came back into the childrens life after he got married, and they have a child. I am still angry though. Im angry at the fact that when he was here he did nothing to work out our marital problems. we had counseling sessions with pastors, but i was the only one attending. He was verbally abusive towards me and physically and verbally abusive towards the children. there were times when i would come home from work and the kids would be running out the door for school crying because he was cussing and screaming at them. we would go shopping at different stores and he would holler at one of the children and i would try to calm things down. he would get madder and then would just walk out the store to go home and leave us there. we would be out at restaurants with my family and he would start arguing and walk out on us. this went on for years.

?

anyway, as i said, he is now married and has a son and wants me to act as though nothing ever happened. He use to ask to come see the children so i let him. but, then he would walk in with brand new clothes and shoes on!!!. for a man that claims that he does not work how can he afford new clothes. i struggle to pay the bills, feed 7 children, clothe them, and make sure they have what they need for school and everything else.

this man walks out on his family, marries someone else and they get a car: while i have to walk. they get new clothes: i struggle to keep shoes on their feet let alone my own. where is the justice!!! when he left it was by choice. i stayed and raised and am still raising them to this day but feel like i got the low end of the deal. how is it that the one who chooses to do what is right gets punished the worse!!:((? but, as many told me get over it. that's what they say.? funny, they r still married. nevertheless im ready to let go and move on. only problem is that when he calls i still get angry.. truth b told i still look for justice!

?

so what do i do?
