Hi everyone,

I think that its great what your doing here. I am a divorced dad of 2, and I do not have full custody of my children. I miss them terribly and I am going to get a new lawyer and fight to get custody from my ex.

She doesn't take good care of them really, does not provide the right kinds of food, doesn't take care of their hygeine at all (and they are still very small), pawns them off on anyone that will take them. She complains about having to be a single Mother constantly, but yet doesn't want to give up the $1000/month child support and let me have them full time.

I guess I'm looking for some advice on how to have a better attitude about my situation. I'm usually a very positive person, but I am having a very hard time staying positive when I see hear my children say how they dont get breakfast when they are at Mommy's because she wont wake up. When I get them their hair is all matted, long fingernails with black stuff all caked underneath, their shoes and clothing smells of animal waste and they don't want to go home because there is "junk and food all over the floor". When I confronted her about not bathing them every night or at LEAST every other night, she said she doesn't have time for that. They bath about once or twice a week. That just upsets me because they are going to get teased in school for being dirty because Mommy is too busy.

When we were divorce she wasn't nearly this bad, but I'm thinking that something has her in some sort of depression or may be she is even into drugs. Not sure, but I want my kids!

Not a very good first post but I guess that I needed to vent. I feel better. Thanks anyone that takes the time to read this.
