Mulesqb - A Day in Court

[mulesqb]

Yup! I had my kids for 3 months continuously and it was exactly like this, more peace, routine, and top grades. In these awful 'sitches' we often have to grapple with the legal vs. moral - the former often trumps the latter. But in your case you have the ball almost entirely in your court with respect to the kids which is a good thing given your W's sick head. Hope you find a cleaner neighborhood soon! Try to build rapport with parents of your kids' friends; assuming they come from good families this will raise your self-esteem and give your kids hope for a better life.

Thanks FB2! You hit it right on the head. The focus now is on the kids and getting out of here. Thanks for the advice about the friends parents. I coach all of them in baseball and basketball, so we all know each other very well. Most of them knew what was going on as STBXW was never at the games. They all have been incredibly supportive and helpful. Every one of them.
