My kids are 33 and 24. They are on my side, my husband cheated on me so the kids were not happy about that. I want them to forgive their dad and build strong relationships with them. I know God has plans for me. It’s just hard to go thru it. Selling the house division of assets starting a new bank account etc… he switched the energy bill and water bill in his name and I cried I felt stupid for crying. I was married 30 years. I have to get used to being single a new normal I have to establish.
Worse thing that a man can do is to cheat on his wife. There is no excuse. Irreparable harm is done as the marital trust can never be restored.

During my first marriage my X cheated on me too, also physically and verbally too.

May God be with you and guide you on this most difficult journey that lies ahead. Yes, you have to establish a 'new normal'. Hopefully it will be a better, and there will be peace in your mind and joy in your heart.

God does indeed have plans for you but there will be scars that remain.
 
A good friend who had a rather difficult marriage once asked me if I knew why divorce costs so much.
I said I hadn't really thought about it. He said, "because its worth it."

I'm sorry sister. Been divorced myself and its a total life overhaul, and it sucks. At multiple levels of every kind if suckage you can think of. And then there's the kids. My heart breaks for you. I just hope you are moving into better circumstances and you are safe. Divorce can be ugly too.
Yeah, I've been there too, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.

I feel like I will never be able to trust a man again. I feel unlovable.

Proverbs 22:6
New International Version

6 Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Exodus 20:12
New International Version

12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

Ephesians 6:4

4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Proverbs 13:24
New International Version

24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children,
but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.

John 15:15

15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

John 15:13

13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Ephesians 2:8-9
New International Version

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

1 Timothy 6:10
New International Version

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

1 Corinthians 12:12-27
New International Version

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
