Thank you, Kathy.

No. It is not because I want to keep them from him. He has impulse control issues. He says the only one he wants to hurt is me and that he wouldn't harm his children. Well, when he grabbed me by the throat and started choking me, he didn't really mean to harm me; realized after the fact.

So yes, I am worried about that. I told him I wanted supervised(his parents only) overnight visits for now. He is planning on going back to Iraq/Afghan to pay off all the bills. I am afraid that his combat PTSD will be even worse by the time he gets back. He got angry when I told him that when he came back that I wanted sup. visits until he was cleared because of the PTSD. Then eventually we both said we'd cross that bridge when we come to it, but, honestly, I don't think I will back down from that issue.

I don't think it's going to be really easy. He says that he will give me what I want, but then tells me how much(percentage) he will give me. If he is thinking I can pay all the bills with that amt.(60%) plus be child support, he is nuts! Now if it is the remainder after all the bills are paid then I think I'm good with that.

Anyway, thank you for letting me gripe about this. It really does help.

Kathy, how did you ever trust him again? I don't think I can ever forgive him for this or trust him again. His daddy wanted us to try to work things out but I don't want him anymore.

OH! He also tried to make me feel guilty about his girlfriend kicking him out. I told him he deserved to have nowhere to live.
