Married 18 years- Separated/divorced just shy of 2 years. Daughter 18 senior in high school and son (actually stepson but consider him my son) 23 graduated nursing school as of today.
I’ll make this clear….. no abuse to ex or kids ever. We were a very tight nit family, involved in church, scouts , cheer, sports, etc.
the day I was told about divorce was a shock and it seemed from that day on I was the only one who was bothered by it. Ex didn’t want to discuss it and “kids” were silently awkward and distant. I talked to them the 3 days until I was court ordered out of house. Order was for exclusive rights of the house until divorce is settled in case someone reading this thinks they have the “must be abuse “ going through their mind.
The day I was out I moved to a friends empty cabin 20 miles from town and I’ve been here since that day. That’s when literally overnight the kids turn against me. From court ordered therapist, to me doing everything I could do(99% ofmostly texting) and talking to our circle of close friends all of whom have daughters and sons that I was once part of.
Son graduated today and I was not bothered to be notified or invited. Sorry if I sound like poor pitiful me- but it hurts . A couple months ago my daughter had senior night during a football game…with parents walking along side….. again wasn’t included. My ex has erased me from that life and I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this and what happened? I’m not the sad sack of shit I was when all this initially happened. I’ve been in therapy and continue to work on myself but I would like to be included in the kids life especially when it comes to milestones. Thx 🤜🤛

Here’s the dilemma…. Found out from friend son graduated nursing school today and showed me pictures. It
