I think the whole town already knows I've won, he laughed while claiming his prize.

I'm afraid he won't be laughing for long.

On a positive note, I bet to his kids it means the world that he's willing to help their mother. It sounds like they were already rich with blessings.

He did not forget all the good times he had with his ex. when things were fine. They still talk. BRAVO and that's the way to do it. Unfortunately, a lot of people see their exes as MONSTERS. Congratulations on the win and also on maintaining a civil relationship with the ex. They are not all monsters.
