Fab Shop Hop, Court & Prayers

Well, DH and I will be on the road tomorrow at noon making our way across country to Iowa. We got a letter from our attorney yesterday that our court date is set for Monday.

DH and I are both trying to be positive and not give in to the hurt and anger, but it's really hard when you have no choice but sit back and watch as she destroys his/our relationship with the girls and to not be able to do anything about it. Mika Prayers on the way for you and your DH. If it's any consolation, the situation will probably get better. My DH has an ex like the one you described. When the kids grew up, they each came to visit on their own, and discovered that my DH was not the ogre his ex had always told them he was. -- TerriLee Bishop (opinions are wholly owned by the author and don't represent anything) ;-) my real email is tlbishop at earthlink dot net |

Good luck on Monday, and I hope you find Lots of yummy fabrics that fling
themselves into your arms. I can commiserate on evil moms, trust me. But on the positive front, I wouldn't have a pair of delightful (I call them my godson and goddaughter) children in my life, if it wasn't for their mom's hatefulness. Hopefully as his grow up a little more, they will make their own relationship with your DH and you. Much sympathy and prayers, Elena in Tx "Mika" wrote in message ... Well, DH and I will be on the road tomorrow at noon making our way across country to Iowa. We got a letter from our attorney yesterday that our court date is set for Monday. We knew it was coming we just didn't expect such a short notice. Just a short explanation. DH has been having trouble with his ex-wife violating their court orders for a long time now. They have two daughters together, ages 15 & 12. Well, Monday is SD's 16th birthday. How ironic. We were in court on a custody hearing in 2000, last year and now we're going back again. This time it's not for custody though, it's on contempt of court. She is refusing to allow DH to have his visitation with the girls and she's refusing to pay her half of transportation costs, among other things. He has court ordered visitation every spring break, every summer and every other Christmas. She refused to let us have the girls for spring break this year and then talked the girls into not coming for summer. In the 12 years they have been divorced, he has never missed a visitation or child support payment. Now all of a sudden, he's getting no visitation at all. When she refused to fly them out when school was out, we drove out there to pick them up. But she had convinced them to refuse to come with us. So he filed contempt of court charges on her. Now we have to go for the hearing on Monday. Considering how we have been totally screwed by the Iowa court system so far, we really don't expect anything in our favor. But who knows, this time we just might get a judge who won't put up with her nonsense. I know this probably sounds harsh to some of you but there is such a long history of her abuses that I can't even begin to cover it all right now. Since we will be in Council Bluffs over the weekend, I'm hoping to make it out to the Quilted Moose that Carol was talking about awhile back, along with the other LQS's in that area. Who knows, I might get lucky and find some of the fabrics I've been looking for. LOL. I just wish I had time to stop in at some along the way. Oh well. So if anyone has any suggestions of fab shops in the CB or Omaha area, let me know. I will check back in here before we leave tomorrow. Any prayers that you all can send our way for safe travels and for the judge to actually let justice prevail would be most appreciated. DH and I are both trying to be positive and not give in to the hurt and anger, but it's really hard when you have no choice but sit back and watch as she destroys his/our relationship with the girls and to not be able to do anything about it.

My DH has an ex like the one you
described. When the kids grew up, they each came to visit on their own, and discovered that my DH was not the ogre his ex had always told them he was. Boy, ain't that the truth. My dh's son was here yesterday, for his 21st birthday, which he chose to spend with us instead of his mother. She had the boy convinced that his father had "abandoned" him, (even tho he was never late on a visitation or payment...and took as MUCH time with him as the ex and the courts would let him have), among other things. She also convinced him that since we live in California, that he would most likely come visit us, and die here, due to some accidental death in the swimming pool or spa or something. No wonder the kid threw up every time he left home, eh? Well, the beauty of is that he now sees BOTH parents through the eyes of a (young, admittedly) adult perspective, and realizes that his mom is a psycho, and his dad is the only stable thing in his life. DUH! Why do parents DO these things to their children?..(rhetorical question...thanks) The Blessed Fiddy, Patroness Saint of the Disorganized LC in Sunny So Cal Personality Development Specialist (Full-Time Mom!) |
