Been there @diggedag; don't give up the fight or she will turn the kids against you. I know from personal experience.

I know. Her goals are separation and alienation. Because I'm fighting it she punishes me. Viscous circle. I hope you are well despite the experience.

I will sadly never be the same knowing my child now hates me. Never give up like I did after my 6th time being thrown in jail based on lie's.... caused my health problems and broken heart.
I get thru each day by doing meditation and believing in Karma. Time will time as he becomes a Man I hope he searches me out.
Nothing has been harder for me... I will pray for your brother that you don't experience this emptyness.
