Truer words were never spoken - during my divorce, if I was doing something to ensure thi kids' wel-being, I ws doing something dastardly and underhanded. If the ex was threatening them with bad stuff if they made a peep about anything, she was defending her maternal rights against a dastard. I had a choice - either let it go or kill her. She's still breating and some years ago, they moved out of her area and down into mine. My grandkids live less than 10 minutes away and over 1500 miles from the ex. God is good...
She and her new sugar daddy hubby adopt kids for the $$$$. My hubby was told by the school district that his opinion doesn't matter b/c he isn't custodial. But they don't mind his $1,000 a month tax free "child" support. He makes less than she does and less than half than new hubby. She has alienated all three and brainwashed them into thinking that we are the devil because we have conservative values.
