I was indeed lucky in many ways. My ex's boss with whom she was having an affair also tried to endear himself to my three children, very much neglecting his own. My ex had the brass neck to tell me she was going to the park with the kids and instead went to his house, with his family present. My kids were used as a decoy. The wife was asked to look after them whilst my ex and her husband went off to do some 'work' at his small holding in a secluded place. How little the poor woman knew. All the time she was being lied to about why my ex was there, because I was some sort of a monster, and she actually sympathised! That was until the truth came out. Oh boy, then the shit hit the fan. As for my kids, they told me years later that they did not like nor trust him one iota. To make matters worse when my eldest daughter reached of age he made a play for her! A total and utter bastard whose job is looking after children' special needs. HA!
