The kids and I are going to have to do some rebuilding.
This side of their family is full of love. We have a solid team who wants to see the right thing done by us.
The news from the hearing is that the judge has given pretrial and trial dates. The most significant news is that the judge accepted our response to the divorce.
This is huge because part of my failure was hiring two attorneys prior who never submitted a response.
Animosity Persists
It’s heartbreaking to see a mother using children to spite their father. It’s as heartbreaking as someone who is capable of such cruelty being someone’s parent. I know that this sounds bitter and all. I get it. Trust me: I’m [I try] being as objective as possible.
I can’t get my head around how one parent could be ok with cutting off the other loving parent. My dad told me that I won’t be able to figure it out. He knows I will keep it in front of me until it makes sense.
I think he’s right, but understanding why people do things is an impulse. Asking why is what I do better than anything else.
The children are caught in the middle. They probably feel like their dad doesn’t even exist. It’s not their fault. But one more hurdle for their father will be helping them understand – probably well into adulthood – that the resentment their mother has for me is not their fault.
