It's always sweet revenge when you find out that your STBX is doing oh so awful. His GF that he just had to be with, that was the reason he left me, that he never felt that way for someone, lasted a whole whopping 2 months. His new GF had court this last week on the east side of the state, probably for some drug related offense. That was more important then seeing his children. Then I find out that his parents disowned him. I really think that's not all that funny but when he basically disowned his own children. Then you get what you deserve. His brand new daughter that he helped create has been in this world for 3 weeks and he has never even seen her or even a picture of her. How sad is that?
His addiction is so strong that his parents have finally had the last straw. He has stolen from them and his brother. His brother put a lock on the door so that he doesn't have to sleep in fear. In fear of being beaten. As I am learning about this I am in my mind taking away all visitation rights that I am(was) going to allow. He will not be able to see his kids, not that he sees them anyways but now he will have no rights. I really don't want my kids around him and his so called friends. His friends that are just as crappy towards their kids as he is and are also addicts. He has no place to live right now anyways so to me that is the unsafest relationship that I can keep my kids from. When he proves that he is a good and decent person again to the courts he can see his kids while supervised.
This is one of the hardest decisions that I have had to make but I have to keep telling myself that I am not doing this for me. I am not doing this as the scorned wife, but I am doing this for the health and safety of my kids. They will still be seeing their Nana and Papa but not their dad.

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. I had no idea things were THAT bad with him. You are doing the right thing. Your children are your #1 priority. They do not need to be around a drug addict father & his friends...God forbid he was high or jonesin' just 1x while they were with him, who knows what he would be capable of! I support you 100% & if you need to talk I am here for you. Be strong & just keep reminding yourself this is for the best interest of your 3 beautiful babies!
