Keel-hauled, but, more time with my kids

[25yearsmlc]

Frank,

Does she know (I mean do you KNOW that she KNOWS) that you told s8 you'd be taking him and what it means to YOU and HIM and that ALL the other coaches and THEIR sons AND dad's and sons are doing this? Is this really a father son thing or more of a dad/son thing b/c YOU are the dad AND the coach?

Does she get this? I know you think she's doing all these things b/c she's just trying to hurt you but I am tossing out the possibility that she's acting out of so much fear that you will "win" by being the better man/parent.

IF SO, then maybe the reassurances about 1) how this is mainly a dad/son thing and 2) that s8 might feel a bit odd to have his MOM with him if the others with dads have their DADs there, especially since everyone knows you exist as you ARE A COACH...AND 3) that SHE'LL LOOK WEIRD and MEAN to snatch it away from you and s8, IN THE PUBLIC AND IN THE COURT'S EYES...

I think if she realized how an objective person could view HER actions in this matter, without all the history of how terrible you used to be blah blah blah, if she knew how she might be seen, she might reconsider. Got to wonder what SHE thought the other parents felt when she acted like such a biotch...

OTOH, she says you "slept with the kids 5 times" and I have to wonder wth she means by that. Is she "jealous" that they reach out to you (God, let's hope so) OR IS SHE GOING DOWN TO THE GUTTER WITH THOSE COMMENTS?? Does she know if she destroys you, professionally/financially, then there won't be ANY money for child support??? Hmm?? It is NOT in HER interest, never mind theirs, to destroy you.

Okay just thought I would throw those things out. Either way you'll do what's best and yes, showing that you as a father, do care and you DO matter IS a legit concern. Just make sure it's that, and not your pride, or "ownership rights" talking. etc. Sometimes the line gets blurry.
