I SO understand!!! Told you one of our son's has had to go through very much what you have, so I recognize the "symptoms" of the aftermath! You won't get over it, but you WILL get through it......Five years later, he is still dealing with a screw loose, narcissistic mother of his children. It costs another bloody fortune to go back to court and try to change the parenting schedule. The first time around, the legal cost was over $65,000....then he got another attorney when he married, and went out of state....over $3,000 there, and turns out, he just found out that the 2nd document the 2nd lawyer drew up, would have been tossed out of court.....He saw one of the top Family Law attorney's in the area (so said one of the local Mags) and like him a lot. He charges $350/hour.....!!!! No matter who you are, that's a lot of money! We can't help him any more, as we did pay (loan????) for the first go around.... As long as you are clear about the mutual parenting dates, and times, and schedules, you should be OK.... He tried to be Mr. Nice Guy, and later found out she would never change....and Mr. Nice Guys don't do well in a "mother is always right" Family Court/State. He made a tape of her shrieking for 7 1/2 minutes...with every foul word in the universe used.... Evidently, you can't use that in court, because he didn't have her permission to tape the call. Really, I think if the family court guardian adliteum (??) sp? heard that, IF she was ALLOWED to hear that, they would realize the kids were in at least emotional danger. If something ever happens to the kids, we can keep it...maybe someone will listen then. There are websites and meetings of Divorced Fathers....he hasn't gone there much...keeps thinking she will get better. The good news is he has remarried now, to an absolutely wonderful woman, who has several children as well...They will have challenges integrating two families with one really dysfunctional person, and traveling careers....but hopefully, these two can do it if anyone can. Wishing you lots of good wishes....I know you will be OK, even if some days now, you have doubts of it....Hang in there!
