on friday my lawyer will be filing papers with the stbx's lawyer
i am filing for sole custody of my daughter - my son at age 17 has already chosen
daughter, while torn at one level, is ok with it
i asked her whether she wanted to arrange a visit with her mother on monday night (her mother works 'til 9pm) after she is off work
daughter said "i don't want her to get the idea that i want to see her"
for all the ambivalence and fear about her mother's reaction, when it comes right down to it she wants to escape her mother as much as either son or i...
tomorrow is supposed to be switchover day
i will call the stbx and tell her that daughter will not be coming over and yet one more time that the stbx should be looking at counseling
i will warn her about calling the kids - that she is enjoined from unsupervised contact with them - that calling them (or me) repeatedly will constitute harassment
more later - i just don't have it in me to write a swack of stuff
there is so much going on between all of us and the swirl and chaos is all encompassing

Hang in Cad, thinking of you.

Unless she tries to contact, let the lawyer do the warning.
If (when) she does attempt contact, inform her that she's breaking the law and tell her the next call gets the cops involved. And mean it.
And always remember: One of the things manipulative, psychotic people are very good at doing is making the sane people around them appear crazier than they are. Don't play her game. Your kids deserve at least one sane parent. Don't let her make you crazy.
I'm pulling for you.

Mr. C. . . . great advice from Pirate. . . it has been a long time coming so I know that today was not fun, but necessary.
Praying for you and yours.
Ciao
