Absolutely, either this story is made up, or that woman is insane.

You can just say "Christian", you know.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not unique to Christians.

Lot of imaginary sadists out there.

Bad for the kids...

"I laughed it off as nonsense," he said. "But she didn't. She told me to leave, informed our kids about the divorce, and the next thing I knew, I was getting a call from her lawyer."

Seems like an easy custody battle but hey you never know

Easy for a man to get custody of the kids? What world do you live in?

My friend’s ex repeatedly crashed her car while drunk with their daughter in the car and he had to fight a pretty much non-stop court battle for over a decade to maintain his 50%.

basically the same for me and my sisters with our parents. Dad in the army and mom is robbing walmarts to pay for crack. Hmm, mom gets summer custody it is!
