What a sucktastic day. Well, it will all be behind me now. 10 years gone. And the stupide POS thinks the kids will be better off. Damn, just damn. It's just going to be me and my lawyer today.
Dropped my kids off at school this morning and they were talking about seeing their mom. They still believe in her. Ugh.

I'll say this much, don't try to turn your kids against here; she's still their mother and they still love her. However, if she tries to turn them on you, then cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

Point to her in the court room and say" hey judge... I hit that". He will lol.

The "daddy's little princess" philosophy of raising daughters is coming back to bite us all in the collective arse. Of all my friends that are divorced (which is almost all of them) it's been the woman that was caught whoring around or just bugging out.
I know there's two sides to every story but it looks like a trend to me.

How are you working out the custody?
Whatever you do, make sure you're there. And as someone else already said, don't bad mouth or blame your ex. The kids will remember that as adults. I know I did when my mom did that to my dad. No matter what, they will love you both. They don't understand what brought all this about and they don't need to. Protect your kids, above all else.

Never in a million years would I do that. Never. The dogs are on their short leash and if she starts shite, she knows what will happen.

This is interesting. I think waaaaay too many people get married without really understanding who they're marrying or why they're doing it. It's just looked at as something to do, the natural "next phase" of a long-term relationship. People don't TALK enough anymore. They get married without understanding each other's expectations, wants, habits, etc.
I got married young, but I love my wife today more than ever (15 years this year) and I can confidently say that she feels the same. When we got married, divorce was never an option. The word was never uttered, in seriousness or in jest or as a threat. We don't go to bed angry and when we have issues, we are open and honest about them....and we help each other in any way that we can to address them. And infidelity has NEVER been a concern for either of us.
I can't help but think that people have become incredibly poor evaluators of other people, particularly those closest to them. And being committed also apparently means very little, too.

Had a few chemo treatments so far. Hanging in but sliding down. Losing her hair and sleeps a lot. I'm not sure she's going to come out the other end. Sigh.

She is in Jacksonville and gets them every other weekend...for one night each time. Not even using her full allotted time with them.
When she retires and moves back, it will go to more of a joint custody. I have it written into the decree that I get all school choices, so she cant take them out anywhere. And I'm getting money for life from her...the house...truck...etc.
I'd never bad mouth her, but I won't lie, either.

No luck on pursuing clinical trials?

Being committed means nothing these days. You should have seen the amount of divorce cases in the courtroom today. Unbelievable. What happened to society that teaches where its better to run?

No.

Know that the kids, when they are older, will see this through the prism that you do now. It will work out.

I think that's fair.

Oh, I would believe it. It's sad.

I can't tell you. I don't want to say, definitively, that a lack of faith has anything to do with it, but I personally think it does. Obviously there are plenty of "Christians" getting divorced and often times, it's for good reason (as in yours). But I think if both people in the relationship truly care about the vows they make before God, then they matter much, much more. If one of them has decided they don't care about God as much, then that can quickly turn things. That's just me. I'm sure there are plenty of opinions on this out there.

Totally agree. I also think that society in itself has degraded so much - you know, everybody gets a trophy - that when things aren't all peaches and cream that its OK to do what's "best for you."
After all, the ex said this is the most selfish thing she has ever done. She also said that the kids would be better off. frick her.

I think they will. However, she has told my son on at least two occasions that he needs to spend more time with her than with me. I don't ask him what they talk about...maybe I should?

She sounds messed up. I'm sorry you lost ten years...but don't lose sight of what you gained. Your kids are still yours and they always will be.

You could beat around the bush and probably get a good idea. Have to gauge each opportunity as it comes, though.
