No need to apologize. Yes your correct, they never legally divorced. TBHI really dont know why , but it never really was an issue for us, because we always said it was something she would take care of when we were finally ready to get married.

I do hope that the fact that she signed over custody the first go around will be a BIG help in my favor. In her defense, her MIL is a real piece of work and used the twins as weapons for years, witholdin visitation on a whim. But now that they're 15 and close to being able to be on their own............

I've seen this pattern of behavior once before with my WAW, about three years ago when I got really absorbed in things as an escape from stress. She got her emotional needs met from short fling with someone and it was over within a month. We started going to counseling , but it petered out after a few months. Im certainly not blameless in this nighmare, I just cant believe she's running to HIM of all people. And I certainly cant believe that she would A) Stand by and let our children live with him given his history and B) That I wouldnt find out with in the next month if I had proceeded to follow the original plan of letting the kids stay with her while we worked onour issues. I honestly have NO CLUE what is going thru her head right now. Im most hurt for my kids , especially my daughter, who loves her Mom dearly. But I cant see it being ok for me to risk her living there with his history and this jerk sure as hell ISNT raising MY SON as long as I have something to say about it.
