NoDirection, she has used my kids against me, many times, and tries to, this day. It seems like to me that to her they are nothing but money and power, a way to try to control my actions. That is where she is wrong. My kids are my heart, She only has the power to use them, against me if I let her. Not going to say, that I am always in control, the Lord knows that isn't the case, but I always make the best effort to be.
When it comes down to it, there is only a few things worth fighting for, and that is happiness, and love, for yourself, and your son. I know that you will do whatever you have to give him, happiness, and show him that he is loved. Take care.
