I hope like hell you won the custody proceedings.
The rest of the story: We agreed to joint custody. She married the guy she left me for, had the engagement ring on and him in tow when we went to court the first time for the initial divorce proceeding, the feeling out phase.
She divorced him after two years after cheating on him with multiple people, including a guy who ran the video store in the town I was living in when she came to visit the kids. She liked to tell me all this stuff for some reason.
She then married a guy who beat her with great gusto. Stayed married to him for 5 years, because she was afraid to divorce him. Finally divorced him, then married a guy about 15 years older than her, who died last year of cancer. That's not counting the 5 or 6 guys she lived with in between marriages.
She is currently broke, single and alcoholic and looks rode hard and put up wet. One of her biggest complaints about me was she couldn't be herself, which is a skanked out, drunked up *****, I guess. I had a pretty high-profile, respectable job at the time and she had to watch herself.
The kids lived with me for a great portion of her personal meltdown.
