I am a young stepmum of 3, the eldest 8, going through a rough and dirty custody battle to enable the kids to stay with us. I know not amny battles favour the father. Does anyone else have similar experiences? I was not the cause of the marriage break-up but naturally I am evil incarnate according to the mum. Trying to stay strong for the children and my fiance, but I just want to go to bed and wake up when its all over.
