If you don't let him bully you (which you WON'T), he WILL go for full custody so be prepared for that. The writing is all over the wall.
Yep. I think so too. I am at the point where I wish he could have less custody, rather than more or esp. full!!!

As for your depressed time.......what you are like NOW is what matters. He could have ordered temporary custody during the time when you were severely depressed...that time is over. You are healthy, happy, and being a good mother and woman.
I was thinking that too, 2 years ago, when that was if he was really concerned about my parenting, you would have thought he would have done something then. We had the temporary hearing, and he said nothing re: custody and was seeing them no overnights at that point.
I do think the verbal abuse/yelling helped me to get to that point, and the D bomb he dropped, and also my brother's tumor. I also didn't have some of the coping skills I have now; didn't know what to do when I was depressed or yelled at like I've learned the past 2 years. I would hope a judge in court could/would understand that.
I haven't heard from my L back yet today; hopefully before the end of the week I will though. I emailed her all the specifics of yesterday/today. I dropped by there after a meeting at the church (they're announcing I'm going to be director of the mom's morning out tonight), and my L was out of the office but I talked to her assistant.
I do think if we don't go to court re: visitation he will just get worse and worse.
I told the crossing guard at the school (have made good friends with him the past 2 months), and told him what happened this morning. Asked him if he saw it, but no. He did say if my L agrees, he will put in a call to someone (didn't say who) and they can have X banned from D9's school. I am hoping that wouldn't have to happen, and sounds like something X would do to me, so I really don't want to do that, and I still have hopes he might calm down some day in the future after the D. But if something like today happens again, I will do it.
Dylan, why do you think he sounds confident? I know he's had strategy/been planning all this stuff out, but I think this am was not something he planned. He was really out of control and angry.
I am on facebook, but only go on there once in a blue moon and I never do updates or anything on my fb page. Are you on there btw? I signed up for twitter (is that what it's called) and have never used it. One of X's running friends signed up to follow me shortly after I joined, and that kind of creeped me out. I don't think I ever tweeted or whatever they call it. The only place I post is here....
