Just got served papers from the asshole. Again. It doesn't end with him. Apparently, he wants to go back to court. Apparently, he wants more time with the children. Nevermind the fact that they don't like visiting him, or that they don't want more time with him. He is insisting on more time with them.
It doesn't end. I wish he would just bugger off and get busy in his new life with his wife, and leave me and the kids alone. He doesn't have a stitch of humanity in him.
Days like this, I wonder why I try so hard. It doesn't seem to get me anywhere. I'm the good parent, the one who has been stable as a parent, yet he is the one who somehow thinks it's OK to keep pushing things over and over again.
Luck of the draw I suppose. But man, I wish fate would deal a different hand. How much more patience am I supposed to have?

In a weird sort of way, this seems like a compliment. He seems to be extremely bitter at you being succesful all around; successful as a friend, a single mother, a career woman and he is doing the only thing he legally can to lash out - disrupt your life and get you back into court to waste more of your time and your money.
If he cared about his children, he wouldn't be doing this. If he really cared then he would know that stability is what children need.
Interesting perspective. I just don't get it. I'm not sure if he just can't handle that things turned out the way they did in court (him being deemed mentally unfit), or if it's his way of getting revenge on me for actually having the "audacity" to leave him. Either way, it's nothing but destructive behavior and doesn't help the kids.
Hang-in there Shaz, it is a matter of few more years. As soon as your kids reached the age of 16 they will be in a better position to defend you and themselves.
Shaz,
This man just wants more ties to you. What does his new wife think about this? Is she even interested in having your kids around her more often? Do your kids like being around her? It's too bad the courts don't take everything into account and throw out his application before it even gets started.

I agree, but the issue is he leaves me no choice but to go back to court. Regarding his wife, please- she's a Moroccan mail order bride who barely speaks English. The perfect partner for an abusive man because she won't have a voice. What she thinks or feels is irrelevant!
