And I'm falling off the wagon right NOW.

I have been avoiding this forum, but not because I don't love everyone here. I do. Mostly. The real reason is that there has been an long, drawn-out, ugly legal battle going on between DH and the Bowel Movement all year and I've been trying to lay low. The BM has done every despicable, disgusting, unconscionable thing she could dream up and I'm so sick of it all, I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. I hate her more than I've ever hated her (and I really, really, I mean REALLY hated her from day 1). I actively wish death upon her now.

Then there are the skids. I never liked them and it's no secret to anyone in here. The day I met them, I could see they were weird, maladjusted, emotionally stunted, entitled, sheltered and suffering from too much maternal coddling. DH thinks they are ok "considering everything they have been through" and I call bullshit: Daddy doesn't love mommy anymore and now they are getting divorced is NOT enough of a reason to excuse the ass-backwardsness of these brats even when they were in the middle of it, let alone NOW, years after the actual breakup. GTFover it. They are just duds. He knows it, he's embarrassed by it, but it is what it is. He still wants to try to "save" them even though he knows there really isn't much he can do to correct the mistake he made when he dipped his dick into the shallow end of the gene pool and bred with the village idiot.

So anyway, one of BM's lowest moves in this battle has been to ask DH to completely sign over his paternal rights to his children. :jawdrop:

#1. He is their dad and won't do that. #2. It's a TRAP!!! (See kids? Your dad doesn't really want you...just like I've always told you. I have proof now!) and #3. Why is this horrible hag trying to rob her children of a loving father just because she is pissed he left HER, ffs?!? That's not love. No wonder those kids are so effed up.

So after the initial shock of her "offer", and MONTHS of watching her drag this out with non-stop back and forth bargaining that never goes anywhere, and spending too much on legal fees, and finding out that she completely hijack mediation because no one was listening to HER FEELINGS, I'm at a point where I'm daydreaming about what it would be like to be rid of skids (and her) forever. I don't want DH to abandon his kids but at the same time......wow that would free us up for a damn good life!

I'm so sick of the little racist, bigoted, self-righteous (but intelligent) BM jr of a SD and her lazy, gluttonous, dim-witted (but generally good natured) brother taking up so much of our time and energy. They suck so bad. WTF is there to fight for?
