Thanks.

She's going for the full nut-cuttin'. Changed her original filing to seeking full custody, going after my firearms, going after the contents of the home that she didn't want, going after the equity and whatever increased value of the home there is compared to the purchase price, going after as much child support as she can, going after the retirement account that I single-handedly built up for our future, and she's 'using' the kids (especially my 13 y/o daughter) as weapons against me in the custody fight.

It's hard to get my brain around all this. But it hits me in the face daily. All the ramifications and considerations involved in this sordid mess compound and add to the difficulties involved.

It's unreal to see what she's become and what she's doing. It's possible for some people to change for the worse just like it's possible for some people to change for the better.

I hate it that things are this way. But they are.
