Wow! Your XH in my opinion is an idiot. He gave up rights to his kids? He really is off his rocker. I cannot believe money would be that enticing to him. What a maroon!

Are you sad about the less contact with XH? Maybe you need the time away from him to heal. The reality is no matter how much he wants the money not custody there is a relationship. You had kids together and there are always events, and then when the kids are grown there are grandkids. I am sure you will see him through the years at the kids events.

Continue to GAL! And love those beautiful kids all that you can. My kids and I cuddle lots and call it "cuddle bugs." It is amazing how kids and animals can heal your heart faster than anything else.

REad as much as you can, and post often. It is a healing process. Sorry your X is so off the wall right now. I hope he comes back to reality.
