The children stayed with Alice. For my own and their safety I had to move out and for a week or so had to sleep in my car until I could find somewhere to live. I wanted to minimise the disruptive damage to them. In fact to protect them I told them nothing of what had passed. I did manage to keep in touch with them until their mid twenties when finally it all came out. That was over ten years ago. They did not take the truth well, having been fed lies all those years by their mother and her family and friends. When I finally got the chance to explain a few things they simply turned away from me. I guess it's always the messenger who gets shot in the end. Whatever, I hope they have a good life. As for me I'm well over it and doing fine.
