He has dark blue eyes at present and looks just adorable and edible.

On my own domestic front, my boys and me are doing great, very peaceful and loving household.

Ex still playing major cruel games, time for him to move on and leave us in peace now, he did not get kids anything for Xmas, not even a card, a text, a call nor send a free e card, they sent him e card for his birthday which was sent back as unread, how childish is that, there is more maturity in my young teens than that 40 year old man (and thats me being nice).

Been to court 3 times now, I just get stronger, thank God, he unfortunately has just obliterated his own kids from his mind, his loss entirely, one day he will have to answer why, not to me but to them.

All in all, time, love ,patience and perseverance is getting us to a healthy emotional place, I still have my up's and down's like everyone else on the planet but feel GREAT and doing well holding us all together.

Will one day write a book as even re reading my diary makes me catch my breath and I want to slap myself for putting up with such badness for so long, saw the light eventually so not going to dwell on the past nor look to the future, just enjoying the here and now.

Thanks A mill

as for the ex issues with the kids
I had a similar experience this past Christmas
The ex came out xmas-eve (early)
he was so spun and out of control he ended up leaving Christmas Morning at 4 AM before the kids got up.
It finally occured to me (after 16 years of making excuses) that he is not a recreational drug abuser but a hard core addict.
He is no longer welcome to family functions and the boys have had enough. They are embarrassed by his behavior.

I love it when women pick up the pieces of a life temporarily spoiled by a Dad and do right by their kids.

I agree totally its us women who keep the world turning for our kids and ourselves, a few men also step up and do the best they can too and lots of love to them who do.

My little one has middle name of Patrick, good name.

Life is good and keeps getting better.

Wishing you and yours all the love in the world and keep smiling, (((()))).

Lots love
