Hi Song..my first post. When I filed and her anger came, she used the kids against me. Their homework bags would be locked in her car. She would do the homework before I got home. Same thing...I was being alienated from my kids.

DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF STAYING IN YOUR CHILDREN'S LIFE. DO NOT LET FEAR OF PUSHING YOUR W AWAY KEEP YOU FROM DEFENDING YOUR BOUNDARIES.

Staying in your kids lives is a N.U.T. (Levine)

I fought to do homework twice a week. I began to look thru their schoolbag everyday and log events into my Blackberry. I began enrolling my kids in their sports...staying on top...keeping myself in the loop. I became a coach of my son's BB team and my D5's lacrosse clinic.

Don't be an amputated parent.

Don't be afraid to stay involved.

Don't be afraid to stand your ground.
