Blair,
I agree with was has been said so far. You have to protect you, your girls & the pups future & the best way is with an attorney. You are a good person, shared your heart & soul and he took advantage of that. You are a strong woman and you will become stronger each day because you will fight for what you deserve. Turn your focus on you, the girls & the pups and don't waste negative energy on that nit-wit. I hope you get all the good things in life that you deserve, that are coming your way. It stinks when people hurt other people like this, it is unbelievably selfish. You will come away from this a stronger person with loving kids that know there Mom cares a great deal for them.
Hang in there. Sending you hugs & support from Jersey.
