Ahh, that explains it. Sorry but I don't get to read all your replies to them.
You don't actually don't need to feel upset. Much to you being affected, the father of the 2 kids is worst - I don't even think he has the backbone to stand alone, he's dependent of his family. Why be so affected TS if you guide your kids in a way you can?
Their opinions of you, or should I say OUR opinions of you, won't count at all if your situation says otherwise. Work TS and save for the future. If time comes that you can afford get your kids back. For now, just settle with what you have. Use the most of it and as much as possible don't lose communications hmmkay? Pag smile na oi
