This is really nice and sort of relevant to me. Before I was born my father had a little girl by his first wife. They got divorced and when they did the ex-wife accused my father of sexually abusing their daughter. There was never any evidence to suggest that her claims were true and my father was never even convicted of anything but in the end he decided to give up his daughter completely. Maybe he was just tired of fighting and wanted out, he was a young man and wanted a fresh start with another girl who ended up being my mother. I'm really glad you kept fighting and kept your kids. My dad didn't and he regrets it now and I regret it too because I have a half-sister I never got to know. Interestingly enough when my father and mother got divorced he did fight and ended up with custody of me and my brother so I guess he learned something from the first ordeal.
