Your one track mind is really starting to PISS ME OFF. But I'm willing to keep talking to you until you decide to jump up off your ass and grab a clue.
You of course, can continue not to listen to what I, and others, are telling you.
Quote: My sis said I shouldn't do it because we can't be civil . . . and he is NOT aloud to take them ANYWHERE that's for damn sure.... I'll take into careful consideration how it looks in court.
Your sisters situation is NOT your situation and apparently your sister did not have as many willing people to give her DECENT advice. That being said, yeah, her ex sounds like a real piece of work and I am sorry for the kids BUT THAT'S NOT MY CONCERN. YOU are different, the kids are different and so is their father. I strongly reject her opinion that you and Kevin "can't be civil". THAT IS A CHOICE. You can either act like (sorry Frank, I'm gonna borrow that) you're on an episode of Jerry Springer or you can grow the hell up and EDUCATE yourself and act like you have some sense.
Emily,
You are OBVIOUSLY NOT A STUPID GIRL so PLEASE DEMAND MORE of yourself. YOU ARE CAPABLE. YOU ARE SMART (and getting smarter). LOSE THE TRAILER PARK MENTALITY AND DECIDE, RIGHT FREAKIN NOW, THAT YOU ARE GOING TO RISE ABOVE THIS.
It's going to take work. We'll allow you a couple of days to vent and plot and mentally castrate but when enough is enough, we're gonna expect you to get your hands dirty digging deeper into your own crap and throwing out the trash.
YOU CAN DO THIS.

Ummm. HELLOOOOOO...??? WE DON'T CARE WHAT THE COURT WILL THINK OF HIM. He will dig his own grave, Emily. WE only care how YOU handle this and it is the majority, if not all of our, opinion that YOU need to do this RIGHT and you can START BY LISTENING.
A GREAT way to start would be NOT taking advice from your family who have screwed up histories of their own and are very BIASED because they love you. While we CARE about you, it's not the same. We are, for the most part, objective about your sitch.
Snap out of it Emily. This is your life. How 'bout you make something of it? God would never bring you TO this place if He doesn't plan on bringing you THROUGH it.
