I don't know how someone could leave a family member, father of their children in that state even if they are an ex, especially someone who is wealthier and has moved on to an even wealthier partner. Unless the ex had been abusive or violent, you'd think they'd have some compassion, even if it was only for the sake of closeness in the past and the children.

I think his ex wife should support him more for the sake of the kids as they are both responsible for their welfare. Look at the state the lack of adequate universal credit has got him into. It sounds like he's going to get ill through stress. He really doesn't know which way to turn. I wish people would come together as a community. For instance getting together with others in the same situation to share and pool resources in terms of childcare and work and rent. Communal living might be a way to go as this government is uncaring. Everyone is left to sink or swim on their own.
