Today, a judge gave my ex custody of my two sons, most of my money, my house, my car, and has ordered me to take anger management classes. We're getting a divorce because she shot me with a gun. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex-wife announced that she's taking me to court for child support. Her kids were just my stepkids and we weren't even married a year, but she apparently has a pretty good lawyer on her side. FML
Today, my teenage son broke into my gun safe, took my gun, and dumped the magazine into the side of his ex-girlfriend's family home. He's completely stunned that he was arrested and charged with attempted murder. My wife blames me and wants a divorce. FML
Today, my psycho ex showed up at my doorstep to beg me to take her back, so I pulled my gun on her. I just found out she's pressing charges. FML
Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML
Today, my ex-wife brought the kids to me angry that she had tried to pick up some guy but the kids ruined it just by being there, so she brought them to my house because she couldn’t be bothered this week. The judge giving her primary custody is a travesty of our legal system. FML
Today, I won my custody battle. I wish I could be happy about it, but it strained my current marriage so badly that now I'm going through my second divorce. FML
Today, my new wife kept taunting and goading my ex into a fight. Now, instead of an amicable co-parenting situation, I have multiple court dates and a child support order. My wife won’t apologize and my ex doesn’t want her around the kids. FML
Today, my wife demanded a divorce and full custody of our younger kids, all because I had our drug-addicted daughter arrested for theft. FML
Today, in a moment reminiscent of Two and a Half Men, my divorce lawyer screwed me over and gave my soon-to-be-ex-wife 90% of everything. I now need to pay a new lawyer to fix what she screwed up. And yes, she was lashing out at me because my brother had sex with her then never called her back. FML
Today, I found out my ex-wife (who I have kids with) is now pregnant with another guy's twin babies. We have only been divorced a couple of months. FML

I mean, regardless of who's at fault, it's obvious we aren't getting the full story here

from what you've written that is disgusting and surely illegal?. can you kick up a storm with a politician a d a charity? she should definitely not be having custody of any children by the sound of what you've written

Change your lawyer, file an appeal. Take all money to the Bahamas.

Why did she shoot you with a gun?

Did you mean to say"a judge gave my ex custody of our two sons, most of our money, our house, and our car"

I worked with a guy whose two teenaged girls chose to live with him instead of their mother. The judge ordered him to pay child support to the mother even though he was already paying everything to keep the girls with him (she was already getting alimony). I told him, and I'm suggesting the OP, gets a better lawyer and sues the old one.

I need a little more information than this. For all I know you could have been trying to cut someone's head off and your ex was perfectly justified in shooting you.

Ah, the joys of the court system. Everyone favors the woman, no matter what. Sure, you could argue that she had a reason to shoot you, OP, but... I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Slightly similar thing happened to me. My ex has a constant string of men coming over that she sleeps with while she has my kids. Appeal it. And if the next judge does nothing appeal it again.

Let me guess, when she shot you, you either didn’t call the cops, let the cops take her away, and/or or you decided not to press charges.

Is there a reason your wife felt she had to shoot you, like self defense?
