My former husband is horrified by his gf's phone messages and threats. He was, however, swayed by her crying apology and promises she didn't mean any of it. She was soooo scared of loosing him back to me and she was sooo drunk. And he had told her he was having second thoughts. Oh, yeah, that makes it ALL right.

I made it clear to him, no matter who he chooses to have in HIS life, I have no tolerance for anyone who would EVER under ANY circumstances talk about our children in this way being in their lives. He said he understood and that he would be supportive (by way of an affadavit) of me seeking making the restraining orders permanent. He says his lawyer will draft it on Monday.

Why he would want someone in his life who he was willing to have barred from contact with his children - BEYOND me. But also, right now, not my problem.

Now I will move on to focusing on the positive in my life (which is how I prefer it). My children are happy, healthy, safe and blissfully unaware of this situation. I am happy, healthy, safe and no longer going to worry about this situation. We are surrounded by friends and family who love us and support us. We have our home. We're enjoying the summer. I have some good job prospects. The past few days have been crazy but we're going to be fine. And, man, did I find a GOOD lawyer.

Justice is sweet! I am sorry for your stress and hassle though. Hopefuly he paid the lawyer fees! What a nut. Thank God your children won't be around her. I wish I were so lucky!

All I can say is that your story and hearing how the system is working ~for~ you is truly inspirational... yes, the situation itself sucks, but the legal systems reaction to it has been amazing.

Yes, you DID find a GOOD lawyer. Yey for you. Could you clone him/her!!! Excellent.

I am also pleased for you that your X will have his lawyer do up the affadavit! That's good, too.

I am also so happy that you and your children are happy, in a good home, enjoying summer and job prospects are positive. I am hoping I am on the cusp of the same.

Good for you; hope this all (i.e. she) disapears!
