Well, I expect things will greatly improve for the kids this coming year at school. They are already happier in your(meaning the three of you) home, so I am pretty sure that will reflect in their school performance this September.
Oh, and to anyone reading, FA made more than a dent in his garage. I saw it this past Saturday and it looked awesome. He is being modest.
I agree fig. There's a whole big world out there. No use in staying somewhere that you don't like. Are you working some place else this summer when this job is through?
Hi FA. Thanks for the update. Sounds like you are making progress on making the new house your home! When you get custody straightened out will your ex pay you for child support? She at least owes you some back child support.....might help pay for your lawyer!
