You also have the option of not speaking to your ex at all, which is what I would suggest. You can have an intermediary communicate anything that is pertinent. Ex-spouses don't have to communicate to be good parents.

He is so controlling and possessive over me and uses boys as a tool to control me. I need to learn how to stand up to him and not cowar down to his bully ways. I just get so scared of losing boys completely and not being able to see them.

I just get so scared of losing boys completely and not being able to see them. But how can your ex decide whether you see your children or not? Surely the courts make this decision, right? The court didn't order you to give into him all the time in exchange for getting to see your children, did it?

No. I will have to go to court and get at least visitation rights back. That would be the best start I guess.

He had me thrown in jail the Saturday before our hearing for visitation hearing. I stayed in the 48 hours on bogus charges and Monday after our hearing which he got full custody I got released. I then like an idiot sued the county and won, so now they won't help me at all and drag there feet when it comes to a hearing o any kind.

I don't know what to start or how to start exactly or even what to do on trying to save my marriage or if I should just walk away. I love him but I don't want to hurt him any worse. That's why I am branching out for guidance and help.

There were no charges. They came picked me up and hauled me to jail. No charges, no explanation, no nothing. Told me they hve 48 hours to charge me, but let me out Monday afternoon after our hearing and said we're very sorry we had a misunderstanding you can go.

Does your XH work for the legal system? Did he file a complaint? I'm confused as to what made them just go over and pick you up and haul you off?
