I'm sorry to hear of this too. One thought I'm having is that yes, it's awful that he is doing this just giving you custody, but on the other hand if he isn't interested in being a good dad, I mean maybe that's better. In my sitch, my H wants extra custody I think for $$$ reasons, and spends his time running or at work and leaving the kids in his apt. I mean better they truly be with a parent that's there, like you are. In time, if he's a decent guy and dad, hopefully he'll realize what he's missing out on!!! Karen
