I agree. I am obviously telegraphing something to S8. And he's very bright -- he can see the anxiety that has been building up in me with his mother threatening to substantially curtail my custody.
I saw my atty. today to talk about the D and STBXW's filing the complaint for it. But we also talked about the custody issue and the conflict between us parents. She (my L) made similar suggestions as all of you did. She suggested that I try again pursuing a Parenting course, even if STBXW continues to refuse to participate. She suggested that I take S8 to IC, specifically with Project Enlightenment, for both his AS and for his possibly divorce-related behavior problems.
As far as the D itself, my L asked me what I want to do about it. Unless I wanted to challenge some of the minutiae in court or seek delays, there was nothing I can do to prevent W from ultimately being granted her D. I knew this from the start. So I told L that I didn't care, that if W was so hell-bent on divorce, I was not going to stand in her way. So I will do nothing and allow the court system to process her complaint and she will get her divorce about this time next month.
Perhaps once STBXW gets her precious D she will calm down and see I am really not out to get her after all.
