Hairdog gets some t 'n' a at the b 'n' b

Now she's really playing dirty, fighting in front of the kids, belittling me in fromt of them, saying outright that she will make my life hell and give the kids lots of things to tell their mom about which could give her grounds to ask for full custody.

Get out. That is my honest advice, but I am biased. The behavior you described in the above quote reminded me of one of the worst events in my adolescence. My mother is a totally immature (IMO) person who is subject to rants of rage due to her manic-depression. My parents were constantly fighting and at two points separated for a while and almost finalized their divorce. One day my mother was in a rage because she wasn't happy with how the divorce proceedings were progressing. My father came to the house and they had a big fight. My mother told my father that if he didn't give her everything she wanted in terms of custody and alimony, she was going to accuse him of sexually abusing his daughters (total lie). She yelled this at him in front of me. Luckily, I was 17 at the time and mature enough to not be emotionally damaged(this is why I've never mentioned it on the board. I was already HD and sexually active at the time, so it didn't affect my sexual personae). However, I will probably never really be able to forgive my mother for this incident and I have never understood why my father chose to stay with her after experiencing all sorts of horrible raging behavior from her like this. At the time of my father's death, my sisters and I were actually hoping that we would find some evidence in his effects that would prove that maybe he had some other woman in his life, because it made us sad to think that his only relationship was with our terrible mother.
