My ex-boyfriend and I have a 3 year old daughter in common.
He has a history of alcoholism, marijuana use, verbal and physical abuse – towards me only – not her.
He also has a criminal record from some small infractions, I believe.
He is also dealing with some form of mental illness.
I was told that I will most definitely get custody of her, but I am still living in fear that I won’t.
My ex is very vindictive and devious and will try anything to get her from me.
Does anyone know looking at his “issues” of anything that would make the courts take her from me and let him have custody?
I’ll be 30 at the end of this year and have two kids with my husband of almost 9 years. He is emotionally abusive. He wakes up YELLING. He nitpicks our 6 year old daughter and hovers over her every move. He does the same to me. Criticizes her for fidgeting- gets in her face yelling. Criticizes me for pacing while I talk on the phone or for wiping the corners of my mouth. He says our daughter has an eating disorder and it seems she may as well as a more recent sleep disorder but he doesnt see how his behavior may be related to this. I struggled with anorexia and bulimia as a kid and recently have began binge eating out of stress. I also have a hard time sleeping now. Because the only time home is peaceful is when he is either gone or asleep.
To his credit he has NEVER strayed on me. Having grown up with a very abusive step dad that ALWAYS ceated on my mom and made a fool of her- this means a lot to me. I am afraid that most other men will cheat on me and/or worse. So what’s the pont in leaving him when at least he’s one oft he rare few that doesnt cheat.
At the same time I hate his behavior and the effects on our daughter and myself. I am soo stressed out. I can’tt alk to him- he overtalks me or ignores me or explodes.
He is also really careless. Today he slammed my head into the wall and my side of my face against the hard bottom of the couch. My side of my head is really swollen now and I have a headache. He didnt mean to do either and he was just “playing” but he always rough houses and ends up hurting me and I am just so frustrated!!!
I am going to be 30 at the end of this year and I have two kids and I admit I may be weak for this but I dont want to be alone raising two kids. I feel like no one will want me. And I know that’s not what life is about but it is how I feel. I am just so sad. I feel like I am failing as a mother because I am not strong enough to leave and I feel I am failing as a mother if I am not committed enough to stay and give my kids an intact family.
I dont believe stepparent love their kids really. My stepdad was so abusive. I feel like I have a chance for my kids to have their real dad and I dont want to take that from them but hes just as bad as my stepdad was except he doesnt cheat on me and he doesnt molest our daughter. I feel a stepdad would do those things. I dont know I am so frustrated. I am an intelligent and strong woman but in this area I feel like a loser no matter what. I am soooo lost right now!
I dont want to be a bad mom. At the same time I dont want to raise fatherless children like I was and I dont want a piecemeal family. And I dont want to live out the rest of my life never enjoying a Valentines day or anniversary. I guess you’e all right though. hes an awful dad. I just have to resolve to having a romance free, lonely existence. It really sucks. I had so many other options before him. I chose him
My daughter is dateing a man who likes to chew on the root of ginseng, is this commly how you use it or is it stronger that way than you would normally buy?
We live in Indiana, looking for cases to help my sister out getting guardian ship of her ex stepchild father has allowed drug addicted sister to sit and cps took the child out of the home. Mother is in jail for neglect as well.
My 4 year 3 month old daughter still wets her pull up though the night. I’ve tried limiting her drinks after dinner, getting her to pee 3 times in the last hour before bedtime and that doesn’t help. Waking her at 11 is a disaster, she’s a very deep sleeper and it’s traumatic for me to wake her up, she can’t figure out what’s going on and it scares her. I think it’s because she is such a sound sleeper that she’s wetting her pull up before she wakes up fully, but she’s beginning to really feel ashamed of this and my heart is breaking for her. I don’t mind the peeing, I’m ready to wait for it to end on it’s own, but she’s so bothered by it I feel like I need to do something.

July 18, 1969 a drunk Ted Kennedy would drive off a bridge and leave a young girl (Mary Jo Kopechne) to die in the back seat of his car. He did not report the accident for 9 hours. Kennedy was guilty of manslaughter as anyone would be if they killed a passenger while driving drunk. Yet never went to jail. Hell, there was never a trial. What the hell, make him a senator. He is a RICH, WHITE LIBERAL and a KENNEDY. What if Mary Jo were your daughter?
Does anybody know anything about drug charges in Alabama. I am interested in knowing how many year my ex is facing in prison. I want to know this so that I can prepare for the safety of my daughter and myself. These are the items that were seized: a half kilogram of cocaine, 17 pounds of marijuana, 500 Ecstasy tablets, 90 hydrocodone tablets, a large undisclosed amount of cash, and a semi-automatic pistol. He is being charged with conspiracy, drug distribution, and possession of a firearm. The newspaper said that this has been a month-long investigation, and the ATF, DEA, and police carried out undercover operations, as well as physical and electronic surveillance leading up to the arrest. He has been battling with me for the last several months for visitation rights. If you have any answers, please let me know!
her daughter was addicted to pain pills, she has been in rehab and put in jail because her urine came back positive, my sister is about to lose it, and her husband has been dead for a few years.I’d like to know what if anything I could do to help my sister out. She is just at a rock and a hard place. We talk on the phone once a week, and I let her vent her problems to me, but I feel so bad for her, she didn’t do anything wrong, yet she is being punished. Her daughter also, lost her house, and is having to wear a ankle monitor for a few years. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated, please only ones who will help, not smart remarks. Can you help?
We just found out that my step daughters mother and boyfriend are heavy heroin users. My husband has full custody and the mom has every other weekend with the daughter..and we don’t think it is ok for our child to be in an atmosphere where it is dangerous.
Are we over reacting? I don’t know how people act on heroin.
My husband will be contacting his lawyer on Monday. However, his daughter is supposed to go over there today and sleep over…what would you do?
