Loss of relationship with wife...children and grandchildren!

by Charlie

To make a long story short....I married a women 22 years ago....who had children from a previous marriage. I, having no children of my own flesh and blood... considered her children as my own. We were not able to have children together because she had her tubes cut and tied. We are now in the process of getting a divorce...after months of my trying to get a marriage councilor involved failed.

I have no contact with her or her children....or the grandchildren I fell in love with. It has been almost 8 months. I know I messed up by confessing some stuff I was going through while clinically depressed. They have lost all respect and trust in me. Is this a normal reaction to a divorce in a situation like this? Please...I need to know....Thanks....Lonely in PA
