Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty we are Free at last!

Ref: This Thread

Make a long story short ... I am now divorced, I got legal and physical custody of my children, I got the home and contents, I got all the retirement 401(k), I got all the stock options ... I won big.

She got a severely restricted and supervised visitation schedule and a 10 day suspended sentence contingent upon her completing an extensive psychological and substance abuse program with a respected psychologist here in town. Judge said that if she did not complete it he would not hesitate to put her in jail.

Anyhow we are FREE now ...

Freedom is ....

* Not having to worry about my children having to eat from cans (yes, thats right, Ravioli gets real old).

* Not having to worry about my children (ages 8 and 10) watching heavily sexual R rated movies while I am gone.

* Not having to fight tooth and nail for the right to take my children to church.

* Not worrying that my children may die today because their mother is toasted and driving again.

* Not having to wonder why she is giggling while I am at work talking to her on the phone.

* Not having to come home to see a pair of semen stained panties laid on top of the hamper for me to see and wash.

* Not having to pay $3950 in late fees to the bank this year because she took over the finances and couldn't balance a checkbook.

* Not finding a stack of bills that haven't been paid and were 30 days to 3 years late.

* Not having to trim back all activities and scrimp hard because I just found out my home was in foreclosure.

* Not having to watch my back at all times, recording all conversations in person and telephone, out of fear that she will again attempt to manufacture evidence to discredit me.

* Not having to watch my back at all times in fear of her boyfriend slitting my throat as he claimed he would do.

* ...

* Not having to finish this list of BS because I am letting it go and starting a new life for me and my kids ...

Praise God folks, there is justice in this world. I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for helping me up when I stumbled, carrying me when I passed out, giving me evidence when I needed evidence, letting her screw up when I needed her to screw up, giving me money when I desperately needed it, and giving me a rock solid support system with my friends and family.

Amen

Congratulations, man :). It sounds like justice was served. May this be the start of a wonderful new life for you and your children, free from the turmoil and stress that you've been going through. Good luck, and God bless :D.

Awesome! I'm in the middle of divorce with a wife who is using drugs. We have a 2 year old daughter together and it's getting messy, but I've got a great support system as well and I'm sure it'll work out for me too.

Congrats again :)

Way to go Ice. Hopefully from here on in life will be a little easier. How are the kids taking it?

One was completely indifferent, one had a breakdown. I expected that since the one that had the breakdown is clearly the mother's favorite. The other one has a "less than" complex because of it. I am getting help for both of them.

Oh, did I mention ... She has to pay me child support. If she ever really comes up with the money I will spend it on such help for the kids.

I'm happy for you Ice. I'm completely in awe of your assertive effort to protect your daughters.

I hope things work out for the best for you, your kids, and for your demented ex for that matter because unfortunately (as you well know) your girls' peace of mind will always be connected to hers.

I am so happy to see that things have worked out for you and your children. The children are the most important part for, without them, how will this world survive? I'm not a religeous person, but I can see that somehow you have been graced. Your trials are over. Now it's time to move on with life for you and your children. And every time I see your name on these boards, my thoughts and hopes will be with you.

Iceman, this is great news man! You know, we hear so many insane stories about how great men lose custody to despicable women who're unfit for motherhood - that we almost automatically assume the man will lose any battle, BUT, when you told us about the way your wife was, I had a sneaking feeling you'd come out of this thing with a smile on your face.

It must be such a great feeling - and all I can say is "WELL DONT THAT MAN!". You've done the right thing, and had the right outcome, and the justice system, on this occasion, seems to be working, and the law, this time, is NOT an ass!

I know your life will be so much better from here on in, and your children's lives will also be much safer and better too!

Just one thing: god had nothing to do with it. The reason you have custody is because you worked bloody hard for this result, and persevered, and had the courage to continue in the face of adversity. Give yourself some credit man!
