Thank you 25yearsmic! I was starting to wonder if anyone was reading my posts. Ok I'll take you advice. I have been doing alot for me when I'm not parenting. I've actually been having fun and laughing alot for a change. Things are getting better... I do have the DB & DR books... I started reading the DB book recently. We'll see! My situation is pretty bleak... So I will have NO contact unless absolutely necessary regarding the kids care.
