[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ex husband here - I have plenty of regrets but despite the odds against men I got full custody of my children. While my life is chaotic I'm happy and so are my kids. Their mother moved away  to 'start a new life' which was a smart move on her part. After a year as a single parent my anger has subsided and I have no regrets being a dad.[b] I'm way too exhausted to think about dating but I know that all of us would enjoy a female presence[/b].

Sound like you were put through the ringer and I hope a great woman does come into your lives. :) [/quote]

PP here - I was put through a ringer but from the beginning I was focused on one thing - getting sole custody of my children. I didn't fight her over every nickel and dime or who got what possession. It didn't matter to me and my earning power is very good and I knew I could recover. And it was extremely helpful to have parents who helped keep me focused...and calm. By being 100% focused on why I should have custody I was able to make my case without my head getting screwed up with all of the other crap. The calmness really helped me with my three small children as they never saw any outbursts and I never let me ex or her attorney get under my skin. And I do hope a great woman comes into our lives but three young kids is not date bait! [/quote]

why did you insist on full custody?[/quote]

PP here - she had substance abuse issues and was a proven danger to herself and I feared for the children. [/quote]
