well neither of us are getting lawyers, shes only asking for child support and shared custody. As far as her keeping it i dont know, and i dont really know who the OM is just that hes much older than her and has a 17 year old already. What i do know from what i read is that she feels used by him and plans to drop him.

Putting ones foot down is a nice idea, but im extremely hardheaded and ive made up my mind and come to be at peace with my feelings for her. I know my limits and i feel that there is no way she would ever reach them (i draw the line at physically harming my children). I can take whatever, i just want to make this work.

Nothing im trying has worked thus far, but in all honesty i havent really made much progress on myself. Im steadily moving forward, but the same things that weighed me down in the past continue to haunt me. All i want is my wife and kids back, if that means i have to deal with this then so be it. I just want some hope out of this situation.
