Hello Kittyfish & Sandi2!

[BigJohn]

Hello everyone! Just checking in. I've had a lot going on with the issues with my S10- we have had a few more "incidents" between him and my W since I last posted and I've since made the decision to assume 100% custody of him at my place while maintaining the 50% custody of S11 and D4. I don't like the children being separated like this even for a little while, but did not feel that there was any other choice as it was becoming a very serious issue with regards to my W's physical safety. Right now, I'm working with S10 on my own with his anger issues with my W while trying to locate a competent therapist that he can work with.

On top of the issues with S10, I've been dealing with a number of other issues with the kids in general, my W continues to push as many (kid related) bills as she can on me and as we head into the 11th hour of our upcoming meeting to flesh out the financial and child custody arrangements, my W decided to bring in an appraiser to appraise our house after all the work I did during the Holidays- she has decided that the market analysis done by my Realtor two months ago just doesn't leave her with enough money. Real nice. (I will be fighting to ensure that she does not get to benefit from any increase in value to the house since her move out.) So more delays in trying to refinance the mortgage, and if the interest rates go up on me, well it's not her problem.

There is much more I could post but suffice to say my W continues to maintain the majority of her focus on her own self gratification while Rome is burning. I haven't the interest or time to dwell on her problems, only on those she continues to cause for me and the kids.

Thank you all for your concern and continuing interest in my sitch. I'll try to jump back in here when I can.
