[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 534200, member: 2196"] Thanks for all the support and guidance, ladies. To answer a couple of your questions, yes he does have something hanging over my head that he can use. Several things, actually. Number one being I had the kids taken away from me about four years ago because I scratched difficult child 1 on the leg after she scratched my son. I was very ill with a blood infection and I was not myself. I wanted them to stop fighting and I reacted impulsively due to being very sick and not sleeping for a couple of days. CPS saw the bruise the next day and my kids were taken away for eighteen months. At first their dad did not want to take them. Ex told the judge, right there in court in front of everybody, that he did not want the kids to live with him because he didn't want to ruin his new marriage. The judge was flabbergasted. He couldn't believe my ex would actually choose his wife over his kids. My mom and stepdad offered to take them because they live in the same county and would have an easier time going to the same school. They lived with my mom for several months, until my son told me one day that my stepdad got mad at him and pushed him to the ground. I called CPS immediately and had them removed from my mom's home. They were temporarily put in a group home, until their dad felt bad enough that he finally relented and took the kids to live with him. While the kids were there, him and his wife were on their best behavior. As soon as the time was up and I got my kids back, they started acting like their good old selves again. He is not the main problem. It's HER. She treats my kids terribly. Screams and yells at them for normal kid stuff and slapped my daughter across the face once and told her she's just like her mother. She doesn't even KNOW me but she had the nerve to make that statement to my daughter and apparently it's not the first time she has made negative statements about me in front of my kids. Anyway, I am also bipolar and have major anxiety issues and he is planning on using that against me as well. My bipolar has been stable for over a year now (last episode was a two year long depression) but I still suffer from anxiety and I'm currently trying to find the right medications to deal with it. Last year I was prescribed Klonopin for my anxiety attacks, and I took one before I drove to work. The medications made me black out and I got in a car accident. I didn't hit anybody, thank goodness, but I totalled my car. I got charged with a DUI. I am now having to do community service, pay a fine, and attend three months of drug and alcohol classes. As a matter of fact, I have to take off work early to enroll in my first class today. He can also use my dui against me.
