I went the divorce route many years ago so I was curious and read the background facts. It sounds like the plot from a soap opera. I'm glad you won. I just hope she has really given up.

My ex and I separated two months before my youngest daughter was born. After the first few months he never came near them again although he knew he had visitation rights. He had a couple of real problems. I felt sorry for him because he had messed up his life the way he had but after 7 years I realized I couldn't give him the kind of help he needed. I often wondered if he stayed away because he didn't care or because he thought we were better off without him. I will never know the answer to that question because he died a few years ago. I never went into too much detail about his problems with the children. After his death we learned a few things that shocked even me.

Congratulations on winning the battle. I know it was hard but it is worth the struggle.

Sorry to hear your story as well. And as far as the soap opera, I agree; in fact, I've thought about writing a book but turning it into a horror story at the end :D
