I really do not know where to begin. I guess I just want to know how hard is it for a father to get his kids? I am a stay at home dad and im living in a state that is not home to me. I moved here 5 years ago because my ex came up here and I wanted to do the right thing, so I came up a few months later. I have no family or friends here. My ex tells me that I will have a restraining order on me by monday. Is that possible for someone to do that just for the heck of it? If anyone should have one, its me. Im the one who had to call the cops last week, im the one who has proof of her beating on me and leaving bruises. She cant just say bad things and get one can she?
On top of all this my kids are staying at a home that has a drug user living there. On top of that, the drug use has ex boyfriends over that are drug dealers. Why doesnt she stay with her parents or sister? Why is she chosing a place of chaos over a safe haven?
Instead, she is at a friends house where drugs and alcohol prevail over anything else. Doesnt that account for anything if I wanted custody of my children? Plus I even have her admitting in emails and messages on yahoo messenger that she is losing her mind and that she knows she hasnt done everything to make things work. She has also broken rules that her and I have enforced and even just lied to my face that the kids were somewhere else. She visited another old friend today that she used to not hangout with because they are drug users as well. My kids went along for that too, I didnt have a say in it. Infact, the last time I was at that house I saw a paper plater full of dope, and thats the last time I went over there.
My ex is an ex addict/user and I fear that she will be doing it again soon, if not already. Their is a guy that lives in that house as well who she used to do drugs with(but he has found god, so he says) and they hangout all the time together. It wasnt but a month or so ago that she was complaining about him not calling her and avoiding her again. She said hes still struggling with himself. But now she hangs out with him all the time and shes never home anymore. Infact, last night we went trick or treating and as soon as we got home, she went into the bathroom, put on some make up, and left for his house. I was left to take care of the kids and help my daughter sort out her candy. She is gone almost every night and one night the kids were sick with a fever and she came home to drop off popsicles, then left for her friends house. By the way, we only have one car and shes the one who keeps taking it.
Oh yeah, that house she goes to, there was a time that she agreed it wasnt a place to go, especially for our daughters sake. But for some reason, its ok now. Just the other day I had to call the cops on her cause she wouldnt go to sleep, she just wanted to argue with me, and she locked me out of the house, so I called them. They came, she let me in. Then she argued with me more, I asked her to please go to bed, she didnt and kept arguing, so I called the cops again.There is pleanty more, especially about the people she continues to run to instead of her own family.
I am waiting to see if I get assistance to help me with attorney fees. Till then, does anyone think I have a case here?
