    As a dad who fought for joint custody when my ex and I split up when my daughter was 4, and eventually won sole custody when my daughter turned 12 and “chose” me, I just want to say to all the parents out there in these situations, ALWAYS take the high road, don’t ever speak badly about your ex, always reassure your your child that you both love them dearly, and always put their needs first.

    This can be the hardest thing to do if your dealing with a vengeful, vindictive, nasty, down right insane ex as I was...but rest assured that not only is this what’s best for your children, in the end, no matter what your ex may say to your kid(s), no matter how much they try to brainwash them or buy them off, as your children grow up they will figure it all out on their own. They will know exactly who each of you are as people. And when that happens, you’ll thank God every day you did the right things.

      I had to fight for joint custody of my son as well. The justice system is still very much stacked to give mothers the benefit of the doubt (and the benefit of dad’s paycheck), and too many dads roll over and become every other weekend fathers.

      Kudos to you. You’re spot on.

      Sorry you don’t live in my state then. My ex-husband has joint custody despite punching a hole in the wall in front of the kids and despite coming home drunk often multiple times a week.

      The kids get the benefit of my paycheck, which is about double his.

      So I guess “the system” doesn’t work the same everywhere.

    How old is the son? Doesn’t this all become moot in a year for the 17 year-old daughter when she turns 18?

      The son is 13. For the daughter, sure, it’s only a year. A year can be a long, miserable time, though.

      Fair enough. Any time spent with Bill is surely akin to torture. If I was one of the kids, I would film him constantly and start a blog/vine/instagram account of all the stupid stuff he did. Turning lemons into lemonade and making comedy gold in the process.

    Can you imagine having this ridiculous drunken ragemuffin of a man as a father? Best of luck, kids. Hopefully there's enough in your trust funds for several years of intensive therapy.

      Look, just because Daddy wrote exhaustive fanfic about murdering everyone who’s ever slighted him is no reason to assume he’s a barely-restrained violent madman.

      Wait, no, the opposite of that.

    Trying to force your kids to live with you (after they’ve made it clear they don’t want to and given ample reason) out of rank vindictiveness yields exactly the type of life-long resentment you’d assume it does. He hates his ex more than he loves his kids, and they know it.

    ETA: insisting their new family is illegitimate according to your religion is an excellent way to get them to hate that religion, while you’re at it.

      My own grandmother was straight-up excommunicated in the 1930s. Her first husband abandoned her and moved to another continent. She just wanted to marry the guy who promised to take care of her and her kid. But nooooooooo! You have to wear sack-cloth and ashes and grovel on your knees until the day you die. Because Jesus.

    They are going to trust the critical thinking abilities of a woman who married and had kids with Bill O'Reilly?

      Well, once upon a time he may have seemed more like a sugar daddy and less like a violent psychopath... still not a good reason to marry someone, but I have a feeling she was expecting a rich lifestyle, not getting abused.

    His horrific treatment of his wife notwithstanding, O’Reilly seems like the type who goes home to see his liquor cabinet and not his kids, so surprise they saw his parenting style as aloofah.

    It must have come to quite a shock to the guy when he realized simply shouting louder than his ex’s legal team was not enough to sway the court to his argument.
