Update:<P>My attorney contacted her attorney, and they have already filed for divorce. We are working on getting the protection order changed. Only thing left is to work out visitation with our youngest d. Looks like I am going to lose my 8 year old. He is going to be devestated. Please pray for him. He is going to need all the strength he can get.<P>Hopefully my STBXW will come to her senses and realize that he needs me as much as I need him. But I have to be prepared that she will use him as a pawn to try and hurt me. This is so sad. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Griz

Griz,<P>I didn't reply to your other post, because it was too painful for me to even think about "losing" a child that you have taken in as your own. But since that is where this seems to be heading, I just want to offer you my sympathy. I don't know how you overcome something like this; it has got to be devastating.<P>My only practical advise isto check with some fathers' rights groups to see if there is ANY way to have a claim to the 8 yo. I just cannot comprehend how cruel some people can be... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].<P>Alternatively, you can brush up on your Sun Tsu, although I didn't understand a word of it... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].<P>I am sorry, bud!<P>AGG

Griz,<P>Sorry to hear the bad news. I would think you would have some type of parental rights since you have raised him.<P>See if you can a limit put on where she can move so you can be nearby and still be in his life. In my settlement, we can not move out of state without the others permission.<P>Hang in and God Bless,<P>Bob

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Griz}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}<P><BR>There really are not words to comfort you or easy your pain, so let me just say that you are not alone, that we will all be here for you, and that you will be in my constant thoughts and prayers in the next few days and weeks. I'll also keep your 8yo son in my prayers, because he will need to know the love of God and his father.<P>CJ<P><BR>p.s. Sisyphus, you are TOO FUNNY!!<P>------------------<BR>Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Hi Griz,<P>keep BELIEVING that something will happen to turn this around. Not the divorce, but her actions where the children are concerned.<P>I read something on a church billboard the other day, and it said this<P>"Sometimes something has to be believed in order to be seen"<P>I'm so sorry she is doing this. I cannot begin to comprehend how you must feel. I'm thinking of you and keeping you and the children in my prayers.<P>hugs to you<P>Jo
