She didn't like it one bit when I told her she could leave anytime she wanted, and that I would keep the kids. I made it VERY clear every time D came up, that I would stop at nothing to do what is best for the kids (and me.) I would use everything at my disposal to keep my kids away from OM. If we were to get a D, there would be NMMNG. I meant and mean it too. Right now, I think I am the better parent. What kind of mom 'neglects' her kids and familiy by talking and emailing her boyfriend every day for 2.5 years. Not just a quick phone call daily either...they were talking HOURS each day. And I have proof of it all. hey WW, why not spend some time with your kids teaching them to read or playing with them, instead of engaging in soulmatery with your man, or fibbing to you husband??

I think she was VERY scared that I would get majority custody. I 'heard' her tell her friend how worried she was that she was going to have to PAY ME child support (and yes, I would try for that.)

I did let her know that I had a FINAL appointment with the attorney. She gave in to my needs (no contact, transparency, etc.) at the 11th hour. It wasn't commitment I got-- it was compliance. But at least I got something.
