Are my feelings normal??

So I found out today off a mutual friend that ex (the one who was recording me without my knowledge cz he thought I was cheating) he has already started a relationship with another woman. He found her on a dating app and she's already spent the night. We broke up 6 weeks ago after 14 years together

I'm not hurt that he's found someone else, it just reinforces to me that sex was the most important thing to him in our relationship.
I am, however, angry that he's living up the single life with her in OUR 4 bedroom house, while me and HIS two children are squeezed in with my parents.
I'm also angry that he's choosing to spend his time with her, yet he's 'too upset' to see our children regularly or help with any childcare
AND I also feel sorry for her... He's obviously turned on the charm and she probably has no idea how horrible and verbally abusive he actually is. I feel bad that she may be getting drawn in by his good side, and in a few months/years he'll treat her as badly as he treated me. I also know it's out of my control.
So what I'm asking is are all my feelings normal feelings?

Yes, they are.

Imo be glad his attention - and negative qualities - are not being forced onto your dc...
Keep a diary /timeline of him evading parenting.. Ime it is only a matter of time until his gf steps in and 'helps' him sort out the access that he will have told her you are denying him. Show a judge just how he has walked away from them.

Thank you, I've never been through a breakup before so unsure of my feelings.
All of his behaviour is recorded on WhatsApp messages. He has now blocked me on there but I emailed the whole conversation to myself so he can't get rid of it x

Is he self-employed? If he is or decides to be it will be to avoid paying CM.

The new woman is a rebound relationship. He'll be giving her a sob story. It won't end well.

No not self employed. He told me he'd give me £250 a month for the kids but haven't seen anything yet x
