(((Jenn))) I can sort of relate to your situation. My bf has twin daughters, his ex is manipulative to say the least. Luckily the way the custody papers were written we do get to spend a somewhat decent amount of time with them. He pays child support and then for anything they may need when they are with us and so forth. I think you are doing a very admirable thing by helping your BF see that he needs to be in his kids' lives. Bebop is right if you don't think you can handle it, know it only gets harder. We've been together for 3 1/2 years and it just seems to be harder all the time. But we will keep fighting and we WILL be a part of those girls' lives and they will know who their dad is and how much he and I love them.

Hang in there. If you need to chat PM me.
