Many hugs. It's hard to think w/your head and not your heart. Just put those babies first in every decision you make, and that will lead you on the right path.
I was able to get an emergency appointment with a lawyer this afternoon. She was referred to me by a friend who had some of the same issues previously. I'm scared to death, but I realize this has to be done for my children and for my own sanity. Thank you all for being the voice of reason that I needed to hear. I will keep everyone posted on what happens.
