[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 352555, member: 805"] I have not chimed in on this thread yet, but just have a couple comments. You know custody determinations can be changed as circumstances change - as someone nearing the end of the legal education, your wife should know that. If you are granted temporary custody now, there is always the possibility that she can share that with you in the future should she get treatment and make improvement. But the stress of studying, etc., will NEVER, EVER justify striking your child in anger and treating your family like dirt. Excuses, excuses, excuses.... Please don't fall into the "if I just had one more chance" trap. Sticking to your guns is the absolutely best thing your could do for her. Anger at herself and the desire to get treatment might be greater were the things she holds dear taken away. And you are not talking about her not seeing her kids - just having her mother present. I think you need to start taping her phone calls. Let her know that you are going to do so. Sounds like she is stable one minute and off the next. Her raging at you will probably contrast the front she is presenting to the legal professionals she is working with on this case. Don't forget about video taping either. I understand that this is incredibly hard for you and for your children. Just remember that you are fighting for their lives - and I don't mean necessarily physically - watching their mother rage at you, their sibs, or hit their sister is going to change who your kids are. Stay strong. Sharon [/QUOTE]
