Tammi,
It sucks you have to go through this right now, & I know you have to be strong for your kids sake, but it is not easy. You are a great mom to Alyssa & Nicholas & that is what your kids will remember when they grow up..that you baked cookies with them, was there at all their plays & concerts, took them to Disneyworld just to see them smile, & that you cared enough about them to let them go have fun with their dad even though you wanted them with you. They won't forget that, trust me....
