Update
Alex and I are moving back to Cincinnati. We have to get out of this toxic situation here in Toledo. I have made some good friends up here, but we simply do not have the support structure up here to make things work. Alex's grandparents up here are not showing any want to actually see or talk to him and I dont know what to do about his mother. She has become a pathological liar. I can't even believe a single word that she says.
I lost my management job about 2-3 months ago and staying in Toledo now that Alex is living with me just isnt necessary. We can do better down in Cincinnati living closer to my side of the family.
I have custody of Alex. Beth has told me that she is giving up her parental rights to Alex. So a divorce is now coming and I can honestly say that I want it. I desperately Alex and I to be able to move forward with our lives. Since he has come to live with me I have learned some horrifically terrible things about what Beth has done or not done with Alex and his schooling. So I am left to pick up the pieces of all of this. Just the other morning (about a month ago) Alex came to me in the kitchen and told me that he hated his mother because of what she did to him. When I tried to tell him that his "mommy" loved him, he shouted at me that she was his "old mommy" and that I should never call he his mommy again. All i could do was cry because of how tragic this has become.
I cant really go into the details of it yet until the divorce has been finalized and until I have a written piece of paper that says that Beth has signed away her parental rights. Once I have that, I will be willing to discuss the situation with whoever asks me.
