Not Fair, but I got somethin to say about it!
Looks like because of my job, I won't even get 50% custody.
This sucks.
I might be getting the shaft in this mess, but my kids know I love them and I know I'm a good mom.
He'll never change that.

This makes me sad. You are right. You are a great mom and the girls know you love them. Can't something be done? It's not easy to get custody back after it has been granted to someone else. There has to be an alternative of some kind?.......C

Do you have an attorney?
Also, not to get personal, but given the overall sitution (and Michael's needs to address his own health, etc.), should he have more than 50% custody right now?
And do you find yourself torn between career and parenthood? I often do, but (if you'll permit me to say so) I don't have to confront the question as directly as your situation probably requires you to confront it.
I may not be making much sense. I'm trying to sugar coat it. I guess what it comes down to is this: my work also requires me to travel a great deal. If my wife and I were getting a divorce, and she was struggling with addiction issues (and kind of a mess), then I would seek changes with the company that I worked for or quit my job before I would leave my children in the primary care of someone who (at that time) is unfit.
I hope you understand the spirit of my comment. I don't want to make you feel like a bad person, but I do want to challenge you to consider alternatives. Can grandparents play a role? Etc.

What duf said.
Can you work on the ground for a while, as a ticket agent or a gate agent? Different jobs, granted, and I don't know how much retraining would be involved.
I wouldn't want to have to make the choice confronting you. It is totally unfair, and all the options are bad, but it seems like there are options.
If you really feel that living with MB could endanger the girls in any way... crap, I hate to say it, I'm really sorry, but I think you need to put them first. I hope you can work out some kind of alternative with grandparents or something, as duf suggested.
