My short story day in court

that is comical. finding humor in things is a good way to relieve stress :thm:
 
I can usually find humor in just about every situation :girl:
 
GEL...so sorry to hear of what you are going through. I do believe that if you give some people enough rope they will hang themselves with it..sounds like that is working for your ex.
 
Good job keeping you're cool!! Also good thing you have a head on your shoulders to care about your son's best interest. Wish there were more out there like that!

Stay strong
 
I cant believe your mother is undermining your relationship with your son...Is she that hell bent on controlling everything that she doesnt realise that she is using your son as a pawn??
She is doing him no favours by allowing your son to run and hide behind her apron because he doesnt want to be a responsible member of his immediate family...

It is sad GEL...I could never immagine my mother or father EVER doing such a thing, infact they sent the grandkids home MANY a time to do their chores and get along with the sibs...

The saddest part though, is she doesnt really care about his trival cares..It is more about controlling you and getting the upper hand...I suspect this has been an issue for a long time with her....

So sorry to hear this is happening...I cant immagine what it must be like...
Just keep cool, you got this one in the bag. :)
 
Sounds like you got a judge that has some sense. Sorry to hear you son has decided he would rather live with grandparents instead of you. Looks like they will spare no chance to belittle you and turn him against you. Hope it all works out for you.
 
MQP--saying my mother is controlling is like saying the pope is catholic. And yes it has been an issue all my life, I have always tried to rise above when she starts in on one thing or another. This cross I must bear involving my son has been the hardest I think of anything. As I know at this moment she is probably making me and my husband sound like cave dwelling trolls who eat little children for dessert. And after being dragged into court by my ex everytime he gets a hair up his a$$, I have learned not to speak unless spoken to, do not interupt even if what he is saying is utter bull because I know the judge will give me my turn to speak and I know when my ex trys to interupt me the judge will whack him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. One would think he would have learned over the years.

sounds like you have the upper hand with keeping quiet.. i know it works .. my husband did that with his X and she sunk herself for custody of the kids.. even with my husband in a wheel chair and halo on his head and smached jaw that was wired shut .. and both the kids injured from all 3 being in a accident .. she wouldnt also listen to what the hospital said . so she sunk.. and now she is trying to take him back to court for the child support they just upped when she had the chance to do it over the phone to dispute it .. and her excuse is she cant afford it . when it is state ordered amount ..not the amount my husband asked for .. she said she would have to seel her house and car .. and other stuff .. but get this right after she paid for a lawyer to dispute it .. she takes off to mexico for a vacation with her 2 daughters .. (doesnt even take her boys) .. well how we found this out is she decided to send out one of those Christmas letters instead of a card to all she knows ..includeing us .. and in the letter she talks about her going to mexico and when she went .. and also about her husband working in Louisisanna with relief work and how many hours he has put in .. ummm can we say sunken ..lol.. thats all it gonna take ..
