Must come to an end. My wife says she is leaving me. And she also says that she is talking both of my kids with her. I am soo sad right now. What can I do to prevent this??? What rights do I have as a disabled person who loves his children and can't live with out them?? I couldn't live without my kids, but she doesn't care how it will kill me to be without them. I am pondering acting first. KInd of like a first strike type of thing. I am at a loss for words right now, and I have no idea which way to turn. I have come to love you guys and I value any ideas that you might have. I know this is just a shortened version of todays events as I do not want to bad mouth her, but it seems that I am being forced to act first. My mind is going a thousand different ways at the same time. I know that the relationship is past saving, but that no longer is a concern to me. It's just that it seems as though she has been planning this for awhile now behind my back. It hurts to be lied to, but my real pain isn't about losing her....to be blunt I could care less. But to be without my kids....well I know that I would end up doing something rash, and I don't want that. I need them as much as they need me. They keep me grounded far better than any med I have ever taken. If it wasn't for them I would have been in the loney bin long ago. I know that this is a personal thing and none of you can really intervene in any way that would solve my problems, but I needed to get this out to someone, as my family has disowned me. I am okay right now...just a little in shock.

" I agree with everyone else and I would also remind you to be very aware of the feelings of your children. They are the ones that will be hurt most in this situation. To see you two fighting, especially over them, is extremely counter productive. They have to be your first consideration in everything.......

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.


Hugs "

" first of all.think before you act,this will go a long way to amintain the rwelationship with ur children..and maybe ur wife didn't lie to u.maybe she just wanted to be sure of what it was she really want's.women feel a bit insecure when it comes to feeling secure.and it is a normal thig for the children to go with the biological mother.disabled doesnt mean loss of your rights...just keep this in mind..that if it was truly a good thing,it would not end! but it is not the end for u but the begining of a new experience.so with that.take care and god bless!

" Thank you everyone!!! My wife is pretending it never happened. She is going about her regular routine like I never caught her. But after I got off, after I posted this, she told me straight up that she was leaving???? But since I told her that I caught her, now she wants to act like I didn't. She even has gone so far as to kiss my ass since the next morning....I guess I took all the fun out of it for her. And I aslo e-mailed her family and told them I know there little secret and that the kids are no longer allowed out of state. Also told them that since they want to play me like I am stupid, then the asshole that my wife tells them I am has now arrived, and that's who they will be dealing with from now on. FK them. They really think I am stupid enough to let her do it to me again? They underestimate me. I have been on my guard the entire time!! Well anyways I seem to be rambling on now...Just wanted to update since some of you are asking me. This is where it stands now. "

" remember.till there is acourt order or a stipulation of child custody,no one can be arrested for taking the kid's elsewhere.so i suggest that u go to court and ask for an xparte order to keep the kids in the state in which you live.@ least until a court order is put in place..and thast is correct.the woman in this situation has the majority of strength when it comes to children but as a parent,you always have right's...

" So are you saying that even if we are married and the kids have lived with me in my house for years, that she can take them without my consent?? I know she could if we where not married, but I was under the impression that she couldn't take them out of state if I didn't want her to without permission from the court.. Please explain "

" EXACTLY..BUT NOT JUST HER.SO CAN YOU.U AHVE AS MUCH RIGHT AS SHE DOES TO THE CHILDREN..BUT ONCE AN ORDER IS PLACED TEHN THE LAW HAS TO BE FOLLOWED..UNTIL THE ORDER OF CUSTODY IS CALLED NO ONE PERSON HAS LEGAL CUSTODY..IT IS STILL JOINT! AS FOR TAKING THEM OUT OF STATE,HERE IN CALIF.YOU CAN TILL CUSTODY IS AWARDED BUT EACH STATE HAS A DIFFERENT RULE IN REGARDS TO THAT BUT ALL STATES AGREE THAT EASH PARENT HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS OF CUSTODY TILL A COURT ORDER IS PUT IN PLACE...KEEP IN MIND THIS ONLY PERTAINS AS LONG AS EITHER PARENT ISN'T A KNOWN FELLON...BUT IF YOU ARE OF CLEAN MIND YOU EACH HAVE JOINT CUSTODY UNTILL OTHERWISE STIPULATED/AGREED.
