I have never in my life been so pissed off at someone for a bunch of lies, as I am today. My husband had court today with his ex-wife over custody of their two children, my step-children, and she made all kinds of accusations that I've NEVER even seen him do. She claimed he physically harmed his children and verbally abuses them, nor cares about their feelings or anything else about them. I've been with my husband since May 19, 2014, and I am not one to be biased no matter who it is, but what she accused is complete and utterly BULLSHIT. I've honestly never even seen him whip his children, even when they smack him with something way too hard while trying to rough house. Ground them from video games for disrespectful attitudes towards their elders sometimes, but NEVER touched them. And I hear him CONSTANTLY tell our kids he loves them throughout the day when they're around. I swear I believe she's bribing the kids with money, games, and adult like freedom. They're only ten and eight years old. I don't know what all kind of freedom a kid at that age needs, but it damn sure isn't walking around dressing half naked and doing as they please, whenever they please. I feel so horrible for my husband. His kids are his world, and I can't believe "they" said all of this actually happened. I swear I believe his ex is making it all up to get more custody. I've never even seen them with a bruise on them unless they get it themselves by tripping outside or falling off of their bikes or roller blades/skates. I'm intensely worried my husband is going to take a downward spiral if he loses any more custody. And this all started because he just wanted back his full 50% because she had already taken him down to 10% because of his work hours in the coal mines. He's such a great dad, which she claimed that to EVERYONE she talked to, but now, out of nowhere, she's saying he's a piece of shit dad. He takes our kids swimming, fishing, mini bike riding, canoeing, camping, hunting, to birthday parties, and so much more. We revolve our lives around our children. I have my own four year old son, and we also do everything with him. I've never had a babysitter except for when I was working, but I went straight to pick him up and take him home. I just wish I could help my husband out emotionally, spiritually, and physically with all of this. God knows he's a great dad...Why punish a man who is actually TRYING to be a great dad..? Wish I could say the same about my son's dad...I can't stand narcissistic liars...
