Yes H and I are getting on fine. After the ILY thing he said I basically took that as 'that's it, we're partners now' as he hasn't said it in 3 years.
All I am waiting for is when he makes it official with relatives and my 'battle' will be over.
Re the argument, he seems fine now. I have just decided to not talk about my mother. He's a 30 year old man so I'm sure he's old enough to take the consequences if she does report him to CPS again.
He says he won't let her say anything about our parenting - I think she'll behave like that anyway, but this could at least be a test to see if he can finally stand up to her. Then 70% of what caused our M break up will be solved.
I am personally staying away from her. There comes a point in life when you just don't want to hear about what a rubbish person you are.
I know I am really lucky to have H and my kids after the court stuff (which went on for 2 years) - in fact, I don't know if there are any other cases like mine. I read on this site (think it was this site) that M's don't survive a custody dispute, but mine has so I know how blessed I am.
I take it as a sign from God that we were meant to be partners, even if that does sound a bit corny.
I am writing my next update in a different post, as this one was for you personally!
