Time to...

You ever notice when you need to talk or vent, nowbody seems to be around, so, will write a bit here...

Many years ago I met a woman with 2 children (age 2 and 3), we fell in love and married. Within this time she was able to take the boys fathers rights away from him because he was always making broken promises, then just dropped out of the two boys life. a few years later she became pregnant and well my son was born, then the following year, my daughter (ma ti'puce) was born... We had decided that no matter what happened, seperation... that we would live together untill the children were old enough, (in different rooms).

Closer to the present, our relationship started going downhill, so in Jan 2008 we decided on a seperation. We did live in the same house for a bit, untill she decided she wanted her new boyfriend to move in and me to move out... Well I did say, "you will need an army to seperate me from my children"... and yes, I did eat those words! not long after, she comes in one day with about 15 or more police (no joke), looking at me from the other side, sais, "theres your army"...

2010 was a rough year in the sence of she was making it hard for me to see the kids on a regular basis, so I got fed up and well the divorce went final in october 2010, and because of my cituation (was renting a room) that she had no choice (court order) to let me see the kids, a certain amount of hours each weekend. well this went well, lets say I needed to call my lawyer a few times from then till now because she did not respect the conditions.
As of the 1st of January I moved into a small apartment, and since then I've had the kids every weekend. Of course I love this, being able to see my kids often. *From last summer till now, the kids keep telling me that their mothers boyfriend is rough with them, (rough enough to leave marks) Believe me, I felt for jumping down his throat, but, I will not, am not interested in losing what I have and not being able to see my kids.
So I did the next best thing, got in touch with, child welfare services (dpg)... things did not seem like they were moving anywhere, so I took the kids to see a psychologist, (last week) she asked me to leave her office and go for a coffee or smoke, she must of talked to the kids for about an hour, anyway afterwards she gave me a time to go back to see her, in about a week, and that she would send a report to child services...

Today, my ex calls and asks, "what did the kids say in the meeting"? Seems that child care services sent someone to talk my son at school today, and what came out of it, is that, he would rather go to a group home, if he could not come live with me.

She stated, that she is fed up of being accused for this and that, with that, she will be calling her lawyer next week, (but knowing how slow she is for stuff like this), we agreed, that, I will be the one to call my lawyer tomorrow, to have the papers written up so she could sign, that I will have full custody of my son... Love it, almost in tears just thinking about it... now will need to see about my daughters well being...

I know I'm far from perfect, this is not being written to put blame, or make anyone look bad, its just so I can vent it out...

Thank you.

I'm SO HAPPY 4 u that you managed to get full custody of your son .. i hope u do equally well with your daughter .. children are precious, and need to have so much love in their life (without any stress/anger or any other issues floating around in the background) ... GOOD LUCK and all the best ... bouquet
I am all too aware of how slow the courts work as well as the Dept. of Children's Services. My granddaughter was given to me by them after I filed a complaint against my son for serious neglect. After 5 weeks they decided to send her back to him then a couple of months later he gives her to me and I have had custody since July of "07." She was 18 mos. old then. The dept found out I had her again and then said that they should have taken her when they had the chance. I hired my own attorney to get something done. I don't prevent him from seeing her ever. He is seldom around and is bipolar so he is having a hard time dealing with his own day to day business without having her. I am also bipolar, but for guys it is harder I have been told. For a long time he accused me of taking her because I wanted a daughter. Now he admits that he cannot be there and take care of her as she needs. It is sad when children become the tools in a divorce or in this case her parents were never married. Either way, the children suffer and it takes someone tough to step against all odds. Grandparents in my state do not have any rights and I still beat the odds. I am very happy for your triumph with your son. I feel certain that your daughter will be next in line and will benefit from that. hug
At the end of this quest I feel like you will have both children. When a mother or father puts their significant other ahead of their children this is be an ongoing thing. I am glad that you are fighting the good fight and the children will appreciate and respect you for it. Best wishes. hug
I would like to commend you for your courage and strenght to often fathers would rather give up/give in to womens demands. I am sure that you are a good father the proof is in how far you have demonstated your love. Just a note though becareful some psychologist put words in childrens mouths. I hope things start to turn around for you and the children. cheering
