Interesting.....and what are you thinking of doing?
Honestly, nothing at this point. After seeing and hearing the type of atmosphere there and the beatings the boys are dealing upon XW, I couldn't see this going on for far too long. I mean I could not believe my ears. When I pick them up, they mouthy and disobediant with her. The moment I remind them not to even think about trying that type behavior with me, they pretty much instantly snap to shape.
The only time I ever see them function 'happily' with XW is when I drop them off.
That said, if both boys are airing their desire to live with me now as much as they do, I can only imagine how much XW hears it, let alone how it's being said , and it has to get to the core of the person within her that used to care.
I never understood it in the first place anyway. If she is hell bent to party all the time, why would you want the kids full time? For what a support paycheck? Puhleeze. And I told her since get go one, if you divorce me, fine, go off and live your life how you see fit, I will take care of the boys, and I don't want ONE CENT from you.
So unless they are having issues with OM, I will just let the way she runs things wear her down until she cracks, calls me up and says come get these kids they're driving me nuts. (as I figured would happen all along)
