I recent finalized a divorce and I fought and won 50/50 custody of my children. I am so, so grateful for that. My ex is clearly not. In fact, I receive most of what I wanted in mediation. I think a large part of this is the fact that she is a narcissist, and I'm pretty sure that her lawyer and mediator were explaining to her that what she was asking for was unrealistic. Plus, I had damning text messages about her affair and other things that she would have been too ashamed to come to light at trial.

Now, I think she is going scorched earth with her vindictiveness.

When the children are with me, I noticed that she texts them a lot to iPads that I provided them. I think a lot of this is because she wants to stay connected to them. Which, if she was a reasonable woman, I wouldn't mind. But she texts them throughout their time with me and I feel that this is just to divert their attention to her instead of me when they are with me.

Any fathers out there had to deal with something similar?
