I lost faith in our system when I was going through the legal battle for my neices. It is what it is. You have every right to be upset, but try not to let yourself be consumed by it.

To hell with what your ex and his lawyer are doing. Take care of you, worry about you, and find ways to keep yourself occupied. Mari gave some great suggestions. One more I could think of that might make you smile is calling a local gradeschool and offer to come in and do a weekly art project (or even just once or twice) with a couple classrooms. The kids love you and the chance to do some art, and the teacher will use that time to correct papers and get caught up! Just a thought.

Im sorry things are hard right now.
