So we are in beginning stages of Divorce. And we are battling custody. He is a former alcoholic and drug addict of like 15 yrs. Got divorced once because he drank and drove with his child from a previous marriage and she couldnt do it anymore. He went to rehab. Relapsed many times. Tried comitting suicide 6 yrs ago. Went back to rehab. Was sober for 6 yrs. I met him when he got out and he was sober for the 6 yrs we were together. He started drinking behind my back for 2 months. I was suspiciousbut didnt say anything. Drank and drove with kids. Left them in car to go get liquor. He has been in rehab since march. We are starting mediation. And i am hesitant. He says he wants to do mediation so he can honor what i desire. (Supervised visits) he said he has Googled many NY cases that went to court and i have a 0% chance of getting supervised visits for him with the boys. I feel as tho the lawyers i have spoken to told me different. And i feel he wants mediation because he doesnt want to go to court and have court tell him he doesnt have split custody. I need some advice here guys. Im crying all the time. Dont trust him. I do have proof he drank and drove. Is he right or wrong that i have no chance of supervised visits if we go to lawyer and not mediator? He also said he doesnt want to build a case against me to be an unfit mother. Which im curious as to what he has on me??? When i am now taking care of 2 children on my own. And went from a SAHM to a full time working mom because he relapsed. Sorry for the long post. Thank you.
