Life has been getting way better for me lately and a lot of opportunities are starting to shine through. My two kids have been motivating enough for me to keep working and making a difference for myself. Now I need some advice…

Last year my ex wife decided to leave me for her AP whom she met at work and got pregnant 7 months into that relationship OOF. Now let’s jump to the present lol. Yesterday when I went to her place to pick up the kids she started crying and was very emotional probably due to the hormones because she’s pregnant her words not mine. She needed a friend at the moment and wanted to vent to me about her relationship with me. I didn’t mind since all of my feelings for her are now platonic because I want to have a good co parent relationship.

Her boyfriend cheated on her and the excuse was he was blacked out drunk. She kept justifying it saying alcoholism runs in his family and that is was only oral sex. On top of that a mutual friend knew about the incident told her BF to not say anything and to keep it on the down low. Well knowing my ex very well she went through his phone and found out the hard way. She’s no longer friends with that mutual friend but her BF still is. She’s now struggling with what to do and feels stuck because she’s pregnant with his baby. There was other issues on top of that but the cheating one was the worse one that stood out to me. She said she would tell him we talked about their relationship but is feeling afraid.

I know I got myself into this mess but what could I do as a friend? I just want the kids mom to be happy and she straight up told me she’s not happy and upset with life. A part of me felt happy she’s struggling but at the same time I feel bad and just want to have a good co parent relationship. We are both young in our mid early twenties…any tips and wisdom would be appreciated.
