As a father, where do I go from here?

J writes "Hi,

I spare you the details, but when my wife levied false allegations of domestic violence in Nov 03, the last thought on my mind was to attack the lies and twisted references to truth. I was too focused on saving my marriage, living on the hope of reconciliation for our children, 4, 5 and 11. Now she's filed for divorce and 100% legal and physical custody. She denies: (1) her psychosis (e.g. seeing demons leap from one person to another, putting oils on the heads of our children who she fears might be possessed -- REAL Andrea Yates stuff, (2) her perjuring herself numerous times in her written declaration to the court and to the court appointed 730 evaluator, and (3) her moving her lesbian lover in when she moved me out. The problem is, with women, it seems allegation carries the day, and all the documented evidence in the world will do a man no good. I have an attorney (just recently fired one for not fighting), but in the 9 months I've been battling this I've lost my house, the kids and over $20,000. I love my little ones. Any suggestions???

J"
