Congrats, TwinkleToes... I am now DEPRESSED... you were right... albeit a few days ahead of time.

I am now officially depressed... however, for ONE day... lol - then, I fight back. Today starts the new custody cycle. On Friday, after over 14 months of legal wrangling, nasty insults, spying, subpoenas of my counseling records, false allegations, manipulation of my pathologically-lying daughter, wife's perjury in court... abusing the legal process, court time and justice system... I became officially divorced and lost custody of my 12 yr. old son whom I had primary of for the past 16 months. His blissful refuge is no more. He is now an A+ honors student since weeks after leaving the hell mansion (he never had higher than B- average before), made the Principal's list for the first time ever, made Honor Roll, Academic Night Award and tomorrow, gets inducted into the NJHS... National Junior Honors Society. He improved so much since leaving his mother with me voluntarily when I left her. His teachers he had for two years in sixth grade last year said they'd never seen such a dramatic change for the better in him... more outgoing, more relaxed, more smiles, more attentive, more at ease and self-confident... just all-around happier. He found peace, he found escape from persecution, he found God, he found unconditional love, he found forgiveness... he found himself. Now, he feels lost... and axious... going back to the hell mansion... going back to turmoil, chaos and disrespect. I hurt for him... I lost, she won. I told the truth to a fault... she lied her fat butt off... perjured herself before God and the judge.

I will get him back where he wants to be... away from all the evil anti-God/anti-church, anti-Ted, anti-respect, anti-discipline, anti-love, anti-non-abusive house that he left. However, I will do so with my self-respect, honor and dignity intact. I will not sink to her level, but I will do whatever it takes for him to live where he wants. He said this was THE best year of his life... and well, it was mine as well... in spite of all his mom's interference and sister's violent disrepect and abuse towards both of us. So, today... I lick my wounds in defeat and feel sorry for myself and become depressed for one day... tomorrow, I make plans for the appeal... I strike back with a vengance, a zest, a passion, a hunger, a thirst for righteousness... to return my son back where he belongs... where his heart truly is... here... home.

Sorry, but unless I hear your wife's side of the story, I really can't form an opinion.

Ted, I am so sorry to hear that. You know I was only kidding with you when I said you were depressed. You're fairly new here and you don't know my sense of humor or my posting style. I wish you all the best in your custody fight. I know it's difficult and unpleasant. Be strong and fight the good fight!

LOL, Red - I really do not care about your opinion. Trust me, I have proof she perjured herself... and pictures of bruises on my forehead she put there... and my daughter's foul mouth calling me the exact same names my wife did and physically attacking me while in my custody time... with pictures of bruises from her... also, pictures of welts she put on my son.

So, please... yawn away. Don't believe a thing I say. The truth is the truth... there is no dillution to it.

Thanks, TT - you're right, I don't/didn't. I will and it is and yes, you can be sure I will.

That's okay, Ted. It's quite understandable to only care about favorable opinions, and not to care about unfavorable ones.

I have to say, it's impressive that you undertook the trouble of collecting evidence against your daughter. Only thing is -- what's the point? What are you, planning to press charges against your daughter? By the way, it is noteworthy that you transfer the hatred you have for your wife onto your daughter. That's quite common; I mean, Alec Baldwin did it. Read through your comment, and at times, it's not even clear whether you are talking about your wife or your daughter. It's obvious, in your mind, they are one and the same person. Which might explain your daughter's hostility to you -- but yeah, I forgot, you don't care about my opinion.

Sure, the truth is the truth, except I cannot determine what it is unless I hear from both sides.

Well, there are three sides to every story, right?

Yours, mine, and the truth. Much of what we mistake as truth is perception. Not saying that's the case with you, Ted. Just don't know. Good luck, either way, in any case.

I had the same reaction as Redisca that the anger toward the daughter is totally unwarrented regardless of what she may have done......she is one of the victims of the adults and is not an equal player. It does seem that the OP fails to distinguish between his ex wife and the minor daughter and lumps them together. I hope that Ted is able to control himself and not communicate this to his son!

Did the judge ask the son....where he wants to live? Family court judges usually put some credence to the desires of the children.....unless the family dynamic is so poisoned that asking them would be just digging them deeper into a well of dispair.

It is possible for divorced parents to put their dislike for one another aside for the sake of their childen....but I don't hear a glimmer of that here.

Well since you knew the wife wasn't going to come in here and post her side... why did you bother posting in here?

Regardless of the entire story (which I don't need to hear), I hope things simmer down and there's some sense of normalcy for you and the kids, Ted.
