No way. I'm supposed to meet with a L on Tuesday. I was scheduled to meet with the L next friday, as I was gonna serve her, but when I got served today I moved the meeting up to asap.

It's interesting in a sad way...in our R, I've said here that eventually I probably would have become the WAS had my ex not beat me to it, and now I was gonna file for custody and have her served but again she beat me to it.

Apparently she had her L file the papers on Feb 10th and all the time sicne then she's acting towards me, offering me doughnuts and telling me to contact her if I need soemthing.

I realize that she probabyl did coach D3 to say she wanted OM to be her daddy. Everything that they've been doing together over the past few weeks, family time and whatnot, and all the redecorating and whatnot over at her dads house, was probably for custody purposes.

As I said she's been trying to provoke me to get ammo to do this...and she succeeded to a degree.

It's funny...I was in my IC's waiting room today before my appointment, and my ex calls to tell me that D3 got a fish.

My IC was like "that wasnt a necessary call...why would she do that is she didnt want to talk to you". He estimated it might be to keep me at arms length until she's sure things with OM will work out.

I'm thinking it was to provoke me just like all the other stuff. D3 getting a pet/fish was something we didnt give consideration to during our R, and now that my ex is over there she went and got her one. And it worked...essentially she's trying to build what the courts would see as a suitable/proper environment for D3 to overshadow the home we have.

interesting enough my ex just called to let me say goodnight to D3. I guess until we go to court she may be minding her p's and q's better...something I must do as well.

crushed...you made me smile again. first time I've really done that today.


thank you to everyone who's offered me advice and support. as I said I'm sorry I didnt listen and back off of my ex, and I acknowledge my pursuing has lead to this.

I'm wondering if I need to do a bunch of stuff to make the house look even better over my ex's dads. dont court appointed social workers usually come to visit the homes where children will be staying? I could paint her room...even get her a hampster or something.

Anyone here been through a custody battle have any tips for making ones home look like the better option...aside from keeping it tidy and whatnot.


Me - 32
EX - 26
D - 3
