Keel-hauled, but, more time with my kids

[faithisbelieving]

OMG....SOTS...you're back. WOW. We need to catch up.

Spitty...thanks.

And to frank_D...welcome back. I like the new frank.

To all....I finished my response to STBXW's affidavit and wrote up my crossmotion.

I spoke with my atty today. I will try and quote some of her comments:

You know, no one would believe this. I can't believe you've had to suffer through this. I don't think the judge will believe how bad this was. Has she deteriorated? Those kids need you.

I still try to keep a foot in reality. I emailed some of my responses to one of my friend's here...to help me stay objective. After all this time, it is not easy to swing back hard at someone you tried to save a marriage with. Whereas my STBXW's affidavit attacks me throughout, my responses and cross motion reference the pain that my children are going thru...how she hurts THEM...and to request the judge to order family counseling. Sadly, I submitted almost 30 plus typewritten pages. She will have a lot of typing to do to respond.

If she says ANYTHING TO ME...my only response will be, 'stop the motions and get this done'. This is just like my son and daughter. I tell him to stop teasing her...he doesn't listen...he gets hurt.

STBXW motions....I respond...she gets pissed.
