How far do you go?

All I can do is pray for you

[elkbowhunter]

Guys I wanna thank y'all for the support this is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. Thanks for the stories to that gives me hope.

You know dgrant...one thing I would really do is consider going to a good church and get closer to the Lord. Don't know where you are with that, but I do know HE alone holds the answers to all your concerns and HE is always close and He NEVER gives up on His children. Reach out.

Never agreed with Elkbowhunter more than this time.

Elkbowhunter said exactly what I was thinking along with curtintex!!!!!!! I ran as fast as I could and did as much as I could and I felt like I was running in place and was getting no where! It wasnt until I threw my hands up and said GOD, you have got to take this I am so tired and scared! You know what..............he swooped right in, took it and changed it all! People can say that is hoakie and blah blah blah but I know what I know and me and my children have never been more blessed and happy! GOD did amazing things in my life! GOD moved through my life like a firestorm and he will for you as well brother! Prayers for you, your children and your ex-wife that GOD shows her the way as well!

Just keep fighting. If you are in the right and you're a good parent, that will come through in the end. Unfortunately your paying for the sins of SO many crappy guys that have come through the system before you.

Your kids know you for you - not the goings-on in the courtroom. Kids are resilient and even if it takes time, if you're as good a dad as you can be given the situation, they will see that in the end.

Keep fighting. I would.

It's not the system that's screwed it's your ex. It's difficult to discern the truth of the matter and unfortunately it's also hard to figure out a liar.

How far do you go? As far as you possibly can, then a little more. Prayers sent.

I have to disagree the system is flawed and favors the mother regardless of the circumstances. I have watched first hand a close family member spend well over 10 grand probably 20 to get custody from a mother that was strung out living in a women's shelter. I have another family member that does not have the resources to fight as long as the other and he is lucky to see is kiddo a couple times a year.

All great advise. Thank God I have never been through anything like this but can feel your pain.
All I would add is live a good life and be the best man you can. Give them no "ammunition" to use against you. (you might start with changing your avatar pic of the "bad hunting dog".....

I was almost in a similar situation . We worked out our differences . How ever my boys are my life and I wouldn't stop until I was dead . My wife figured out real quick she could force them to stay with her while they were young . She also knew that it would only drive a wedge between her and the kids . She can't do they things for them or with them I do . I planned to make her life hell legally until she gave up or spent all her daddy's money .

Sorry to hear that you are going through this, been through similar situation. Keep fighting until you just can't anymore. Like several have said above, if all else fails, just do your best to keep in touch with them as much as you can and it will turn eventually.

Guys I want to thank y'all again having people outside the situation and people that have had to deal with the same situation to talk to and hear there stories helps a lot and elkbowhunter I promise man I know I'm not where I need to be with Christ but it's something I am going to address soon again guys I want to thank you. And I don't think anyone should judge someone off there aviator if we did a lot of us would be in trouble lol but I am going to change its one of those things you put up for a good laugh and forget about.
