My divorce should have never been about a custody battle and always 50/50, I could make it one with a strong ass case as i’ve been primary/custodial parent for last 3-4 years actually even more, she sucked ass a mom period.

I am the classic USMC Veteran with PTSD, anger issues, upfront Drill Instructor, confrontational, agressive, beer drinking mtfk***r and thats with childhood sexual assault traumas (yes by men) but I always held a job, paid the bills and responsible AF.

Through turmoil that is divorce, I spiraled and coped with alcohol, ended up getting a DUI, yes with the kids, endangerment charges were dropped by Judge, I didn’t even have a speeding ticket on my record lmfao. But it became her ammo and thats ok, I made my choices and take responsibility, her ammo is whack.

Im disagreeing with mediator on every other weekend and im petitioning the judge for a DAILY visitation schedule with a 70/30 CS calculation through proceedings, until im fully healed, document my journey and have my own place (living with fam). I WILL see my teens every.single.day. PERIOD. stbxw can have them every.single.night. and chaotic mornings that I dealt with myself.

Since teens been with mom and she started witholding 😆 (whatever) i’ve lost 38lbs, walk around with my bulge lookin like a snack, feel good, see my kids daily, do what I want, when I want, sleep in or not, read, getting ready for a Masters Degree, nap, go to therapy, my VA appointments for shit I neverrr had time for. Im not scared of Child Support, I welcome it 😂😂😂😂

I know some men here struggle with that 50/50 custody or loosing kids and my heart goes out to you, it’s tough and we all habe different journeys and scenarios. Everybody tells me just fight for 50/50, in my case its irrelevant, it’s wasted money, im happy with visitation, my men, I have empty nested lmao.
