Building a more solid personal Foundation

LITB ~ Glad to see an update and I am sorry that your children are not with you. I see you are being aggressive in finding a job to be closer to them which is a good thing.

Frankly, I don't know why she would be in NM but she has help there right? Because although my ex lives 15 minutes from here he has seen the kids roughly 8 times last year to take them out to eat. I have no help or family...just two teenagers getting through High school...then I will relocate.

I don't know why you caught my attention back when this first started for you as I don't post much for the amount of time I have been on the board but something jumped out at me. I just felt like your wife was taking advantage of you and your situation to get what she wanted. When your kids grow up they are not going to appreciate what she did.

My parents divorced when I was 3 and my mother married a very controlling man....My dad shared with me when I was 35 that he tried for 4 years to get custody of me.

I thought it was awesome how he never talked poorly of my mother and never told me he was doing it. It really made me ticked at my mother to whom I had always had a very close relationship with but I would have like to spent more time with my daddy.

That said, my dad was not a good husband but he was a great dad and she and my stepdad couldn't separate the two.
