She abandoned her children. She is the jerk, not you. Good luck on getting sole custody of your children; it does not sound like she is a stable parent.
You are nothing but an apologist for women. Please cite your source for saying fathers abandon their children more than mothers. What you said is a lie and either prove it or you are a liar.
A child growing up in a single mother HH is more at risk for injury or death than a child growing up in a single father HH or a two parent HH.
You need to prove what you said or you are a liar.
I'd say the same thing to you. I've never even heard such a ridiculous statistic that you're citing either.
OP - if the facts are as you state, get a lawyer and keep fighting. The truth will come out, so long as you maintain a high road.
DO NOT speak of your wife's "issues" in front of the children.
DO NOT speak ill of your wife in front of your children, NO MATTER WHAT.
It will be a challenge. I have seen a few male friends go through this. I can tell you, though, they did win. Eventually, the wife's lies were exposed and he got custody. It is possible. Good luck to you.
My wife contacted me Wednesday and said she would come back and get help and we can continue counseling if I dropped the case. That the affair was purely emotional. She said she promised that he is not moving out here. :Like an idiot I filed a dismissal and just stated on it we have reached another agreement. Once court came and went she changed her mind. I am so Stupid!!! Now I have no clue what to do! I have been with this woman for 19 years and I fall for her tears and talk ever time!! I was actually happy that we were going to try and fix this. She had no intentions. God I blew it. Have no idea what to do now.
I know I was stupid. Im refiling and asking for joint custody with me the custodial parent and asking for temporary orders of her having them every other weekend and Wednesday evening. I was talking to a bunch of people on the dads divorce forum and they say this is the better route as the drinking part is VERY hard to prove and I would look a lot better doing it this way.
