Family Forum / Parenting / Step Parents / March 2004

OK, I'm looking for something, but I don't know what.

the post I'd not finished replying to.  So if there is a point you've made
that I've not answered, would you repost it?

I am in the process of finalizing a divorce, the mother currently has the
children and has returned to the States (we had moved overseas some time
ago), and we are back in the Court system here where I am trying ...

Need to vent, and hope its okay. I had an incident with my SO this morning
