We did it!!!!!

Well guys, it has been a long time since we last spoke. I have remarried to a beautiful and very educated women. We now have a baby of our own. Isabella is only two months old now. If it wasn't for you guys and your advice, I would still be living in a basement. We all now live in a big house that I bought back in March of 2010. Thanks for everything.

Well..

The mother of my two kids called the other day and said she wouldn't be much help anymore....(thats funny, like she was to begin with..) She is going away to a drug/drinking Rehab place far far away. That was the best and worst news of my life. Good for me but bad for the kids. Even though shes a cheating drugged up drunk my kids still love her. They will miss the 2 hour visits a week and the every other weekends. (Not that she ever picked them up on those weekends) She has been there for four weekends in the last 5 months. Whatever no need to babble about that. Good for me now I don't have to see them get disappointed anymore when she doesn't come to pick them up. I do however have to see them sad for a bit while they get used to her not ever being around. My 3 year old son will be fine. My 7 year old daughter though is crushed that her mommy left her again. I'm now happy and proud of myself for giving up being a sniper and Weapons Sergeant with the US Army Green Berets. It all seems worth it now knowing that my kids needed me. It would have sucked if I was back in Afghanistan and my kids were dealing with this without me. I love those little demons....

About Single dad of two

I was a weapon Sergeant with 7th group until last year when I pulled out of combat due to a cheating wife who is involved with drugs and alcohol. In April of 07 I came home from Afghanistan because of my soon to be ex wife and her problems with the above mentioned. She was the sole care provider of our 2 small children. One 3 year old boy and One 7 year old girl. When I came home the courts let her keep the kids because at that point it was my word against hers and their wasn't any proof... Until the day of the overdose on cocain and sleeping pills. Not to mention the attempted suicide. I put in for an emergency custody order and have had my kids ever since. The only issue is that I live in an unfinished basement at my aunts house. I work tird shift and have to rely on my Aunt to watch the kids when I go to work all night. When I come home I have to take care of my kids. No time for sleep. My soon to be ex has us in so much debt that I cant get my kids and on back on our feet. I need a fresh start for my kids sake. We are $47k indebt with bill collectors calling everyday. My daughter was not adjusting to her new living arrangments and I was forced to send her to her grandmothers due to her doing bad in school and at the house. I don't know where else to turn and really hope someone out there can help me. I just want a new beginning for my kids. It crushes me everyday to hear them say they want their mommy and shes not there for them. I do not receive any type of child support and she never helps with them. Please help...
