Absolutely not true. Your children are just as much yours as they are hers.

Listen to Mach. Take some time for yourself today and as long as you need.

Then, when your emotions are a bit more under control, start figuring how you want to address the legal issues.

Lots of us have 50/50 custody, which in a lot of cases works out to even more as time goes on.

Chin up. Hang in there. Strength and honor.


Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
