Hi 2tp. Lotta stuff going on with the kids. Not any of it good. Some communication going on with their mother. It oscillates...we'll communicate strictly about the kids, good and decent communication...then out of the clear blue she'll throw a hatchet. It's a stressful emotional roller coaster, both with the kids and with her. She has her hands full with them and she's tearing her hair out, so to speak. I don't banter with her, I don't fight with her, and I don't disparage her...I just listen (or read) what she says, including her spear throwing at me, then go on and try to be helpful and cooperative regarding the situation with the kids.

But continuing to be passive, not pro-active when you have extremely volatile situations going on and your kids are being destroyed does not help. I'm sure you stopped posting because you did not want to take the bull by the horns as most of us were pushing you to do.
You need to stop being the "VICTIM" here. Put on your daddy pants and do something. And although we never knew what you did to your family that you continue to allude to and be sorry for, or why you don't trust the courts or your lawyer but if you want to improve things for your kids - you NEED to go back to your lawyer and probably back to court to make those changes. Like it or not.
Hi 2tp. She wanted both of them to be with her FULL TIME. She put forth every effort she possibly could to get BOTH of them to be with her FULL TIME. And she continues to do anything necessary to keep them both with her full time. After just 3 months of both of them being with her full time...she's quitting! I got the following texts from her a couple days ago... "I am so sick and tired of this [censored]. It's not freakin normal. These kids are out of control and there's no pulling them out. I am out of here by mid June and it can't come soon enough." "I am sick of all of this illegal [censored] they do. Sick of it. And they don't care about anything. They don't care about what it's doing to them or me or anyone. They are like all other criminals...selfish." "I'm not staying in this place any longer. It's nothing but bad and negative. I've had nothing but bad happen to me in the past year all because of the choices these kids are making. I have nothing here. It's nothing but a sinking ship and I'm getting off before I die." She's moving back to where we came up here from in Texas to live with her soulmate. Up in the air what the kids are gonna do. She says they can do whatever they want but she's going!
