In other news, her FIL e-mailed me to let me know that he misspoke on the phone when he said it would be okay to visit the kids, even though I can't stay in their house. He told me it was only okay if I gave them plenty of advance notice and asked for permission.
I'm hoping a lawyer can use some of this. They've basically kidnapped my kids and are holding them for ransom. Sunday felt like those scenes in the movies where the kidnappers let the parents talk to the kids for a few moments, just to string them along.
Who the heck does this FIL think he is??? Since WHEN does a Father need to ask for PERMISSION to see his kids. If I was you I would move heaven and earth to make some type of arrangment which allows you to relocate closer to where your kids are. I think your in-laws will use your being in another state as abandonment of your kids. They obviously don't give a rat's a** about you and would love to just see you permanently out of the picture. I see nothing but bad things happening if you don't somehow get in the game down there. Best of luck to you.
