Please tell me when the nightmare will end........

I am newly married and my H has 3 kids from a previous marriage. The BM wasn't in the picture until we got engaged. They have shared parenting but going back to court because she is trying to prove my H unfit. He has 2 of the 3 and she is the one that goes out and parties. I am driving my H nuts because I am getting obsessed with the court case. I started soon after we got together keeping documentation. It is a major plus in the case we are about to go thru. The attorney is great but of course there is always a chance that we won't win.

I have 2 kids of my own and I don't have the perfect shared parenting plan but we put the kids first and trying to understand the insanity of our current situation. I only met her twice the entire time we have been together and she still has the gonads to say that she always puts her children first. From the people that knew them when they were married, she was always about money and how quick she could spend it. This past year she has filed for bankruptcy even though she has a high paying job (but has low enough income to have medicaid for the kids)She only sees the kids as a check and we have already spent over 8k on attorneys fees and its only been 2 months since she filed for a hearing.

I just want the nightmare to end.

You sound like me four months ago. Don't get me wrong, I still throw up the day before and the day of court, but I stopped throwing up every day. It's hard to take a step back from something that will affect you and your kids. But, do it. Even if it's temporary. Picture a container, and put it in the container and everytime it comes out, put it back in the container. It might help you learn to control it instead of it controlling your thoughts. And, vent. Vent away. Through venting, and getting advice here, I learned that I could sick the IRS on BM. }:) I also had an outlet away from the situation where people understood. CG is the queen at this, but smile in her face, whenever you do have to deal with her. It confuses them.

To every thing there is a season.
