Lightning Bug

I am treading easy on the custody thing. I have 4 baker acts (involuntary psych stays) and he has literally hours of video of me in alcoholic fits. He could bury me and I would never see my kids again.

Right now we have decided that i would pick the kids up from school and spend a couple of hours with them at his house. Once i start to prove myself we can work on unsupervised. Then overnights. I am afraid of those videos.

So basically you are at his mercy. Please discuss with a good divorce attorney and be completely honest about everything, including psych stays, videos, previous alcohol abuse. You need to build a case now that you are completely reformed and to collect your own evidence - AA meetings, etc. The attorney should be able to suggest how to make your position less vulnerable.

I am not suggesting you break off any current arrangement with your husband, obviously continue trying to work it out with him peacefully, but please start working on strengthening your situation and get a consultation from a good attorney.
