[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 518160, member: 2196"] Thank you all for your quick responses. DDD, My ex unfortuanately is not a good man. He allows his new wife to treat our kids like ****. She has slapped my daughter in the face (difficult child didn't tell me until months later) pulled her ear hard when she forgot to close the car door, tells her "You're just like your mother" even when she knows it bothers difficult child, yells and screams at my son every time he gets an answer wrong on his homework, gave away to good will a brand new dress with tags still attached that I bought my daughter for Christmas out of spite, makes fun of my daughter for being immature for her age even though she knows she has a mental disability, and the list goes on and on and on. She is the stepmother from hell and my ex allows her to treat my kids poorly. He also bad mouths me around the kids as well. He is constantly putting me down in front of the kids. Both my kids say it bothers them A LOT but they are too afraid to say anything to them about it. My ex is trying to get out of paying child support and that is why he keeps threatening to take my kids away. He has no interest in them. He has never been to one single IEP, one parent/teacher conference, one back to school night....nothing. Last weekend he pulled a no show when I arrived at our meeting place so he could take the kids for his scheduled weekend visit. When I called him to ask him where he was he said "sorry not taking them" and hung up on me. He later texted me and told me he did it on purpose out of spite because he is angry at me for taking him to court for more child support. He lied to the kids and told them he "forgot" he was supposed to take them for the weekend. He does not believe my son has ADHD or anything else wrong with him. He once said to my daughter, "You're brother does not have ADHD or bipolar. I have to have at least ONE normal child, don't I?"
