Moral support needed ...

My exH has a huge salary, massive house, pool, tennis court and completely indulges the kids (bought and pays running costs for cars, supports them financially etc). Kids go there from uni for holidays, which I sort of understand as there is much more for them to do there and it is closer to their old school friends. I don't see them as much as I want to. And am struggling with the 'happy families' pictures of them with their father and his new wife on facebook etc. I have much smaller house, with room for them to stay but not enough room for them to have all their things here. Anyone been in a similar position and can offer some moral support?

Sorry, haven't been in your position but hopefully somebody else will be along soon to help.

It must be really hurtful for you.
I just wanted to say that I feel sure that as the years go on they will become more independent of your exH and also more sensitive and thoughtful. Then who you are - their loving mother - will weigh far more heavily than the size of your house and the swimming pool. The relationship will be the important thing not the facilities when they need your love
Best wishes.
