Okay I don't mean to be rude or that I'm trying to butt in but this is your relationship and your business and you do have every right not to answer my question.
How old are you, really? since you say you are trying to get into Rochester...I get the feeling that you must be a really young man whose in his mid 20s or so, right? and the mother? perhas about the same, I may be wrong. But, at her age like this, can she really take good care of her kids? and why aren't you always with her and your kids? I just think things would be easier for her if you just stay with her and take good care of your kids and all...kids always come first than anything else, right? I just don't understand why bother living with another girl who was your g/f after the other one who just have kids with you. I just don't know why you aren't living with them as of now.
You proably didn't marry her at all, didn't you? well, of course alot of people didn't when they have babies. and of course alot of people makes foolish mistakes too. Now, don't get me wrong, I never said that you are a bad person or anything but if you already have kids, then well...I don't know what to say...perhas there are some things you have to give up for yourself in order to do what a real father would do. You realize that you have to pay for child support? sometimes it can be more stressful when you aren't even living with your own family. I understand that you are trying to get into RIT to make your dreams come true but remember life is not fair and if you really think your relationship with your ex g/f and the kids are solid, then I guess that's your business. But remember you are pretty young and proably still have tons of time to make up with your ex and make her understand that you want to get back so to take care of her and even your kids too..you know how difficult some single parent families can be...but if your ex is already seeing someone else and the kids seem to like him also then I guess that's just fine. but would that make you jealous? I don't know. it's your business. I guess it is okay that you two are not married and that you two don't even live together when you have kids, but as long as kids are still being taught about love.
I'm sorry for going offtopic here because I was confused about something there so just telling you of what I had in my mind. you can continue of what it states on the thread. thank you.
