Going back in time....?

You have my sympathies. I've been around men who are like this (my step-father was one) and I have a hard time comprehending why they do the things they do. Just know that whatever happens, your children love you. Try to do what is best for them, then try again even harder. Don't ever give up.

Wait a minute... is the judge a man?

On a serious note... have a little experience with this, when two people come before a judge in a divorce his attitude is here are another two dip shits that can't solve their problems so I'll have to do it for them. Rest assured he / she could care less about the two of you. But when kids are involved that’s a different story. "Judges" simply need to decide what’s in the best interest of the children. Who might be the best child care custodian or both. In my divorces there were no kids involved, so it was pretty simple. Cut a check and there goes another house. You always loose the fucking house!

this thread should vanish

While I understand the sentiment and rationale for the above post as well as the RTM's agreeing with said post, our Posting Guidelines are clear where deletion of threads are concerned. The Posting Guideline is as follows:

#22 - ECCIE Staff will go to great lengths to avoid editing, deleting, or censoring our members posts or threads...unless absolutely necessary. Forbidden topics such as underage sex, illicit drugs, bestiality, revealing personal info, medical speculation, or images not in compliance will be removed from public view. Controversial, troublesome, or objectionable posts may draw staff attention or in some cases disciplinary action, but the offending post will not be removed from the view of our membership in any but the most extreme cases. Often times you will find directions, footnotes, or other guidance from staff edited INTO posts which draw our attention. These are for the purpose of educating the readers of what is and what is not acceptable as well as informing others about how these issues have been dealt with. Members are encouraged to RTM posts which include rule infractions or objectionable material if it appears that staff has not already becomed involved with the thread or post in particular.
Note: Staff will consider a request from the original poster to remove a thread/post they have made provided it was recently posted and not replied to. As a general rule, staff will not consider such requests once a thread or post has been visible for at least 4 hours or received 2 or more replies. In these cases, a request from the OP to lock the thread is more appropriate and will receive consideration.
I personally wish JustJane all the best and hope that everything goes the way she hopes. The system is certainly biased towards some and that royally sucks.
