I know you have kids so it makes things more complicated but the road that you are on now will only help you. I had a similar experience years ago ( way to long to type) we were engaged to be married (5 years) when everything just came apart. I didn't think anything was wrong in fact I knew I was a better person. We broke up I met someone else a few months later who was Lebanese. I am not arabic btw. We got married had kids and 5 years later my business which for 10 years had nothing to do with the middle east suddenly had a huge opportunity in the middle east. We moved here a year and a half ago and I tell you my life could not be better, My income went up 300% and i can honestly say that had I been with my ex there is no way she would ever have moved to the middle east. This path that you are on may shake things up in your life and you may not be able to make any sense of it now but as long as you are on this path everything that is supposed to happen will happen. I believe of course you should do what you can to be with your kids but also understand that when you follow and apply abundance for life or any course that works with universal laws things will adjust for the future. Just have faith and know there is a purpose in everything.
