Hi Guys
Long story but will keep it short and i might decide to write a book yet.
I live in the Republic of Ireland but originally from Wales.
Ok had two boys with my Ex, who ended up having an affair and moved out with the boys, to live with this guy and his wife. We went to court so I could ensure my access, which I got as well as being stitched up with maintenance. After a while the Ex hooked up with an ex boyfriend of hers in the UK and decided to move back to live with him. I told her she wasnt taking the boys and she left them with me. I then applied for full custody which I got and she didnt fight for much. She has Fairly good access, where the boys go to her 4 or 5 times a year, but she wont visit them here in Ireland.
My new girlfriend has now moved in with 7 of her children, my eldest has completed his first year at school and the youngest is about to start preschool. Both are well settled, happy and settled. The ex is till up to her old tricks and tries to turn the whole thing into a competition. I believe she should be part of their lives but cant trust her and always wondering what her next move will be. I also miss them very much every time they go to mums.
Thats the short version, its more like a series of coronation street
