I am back...and finding me

[beingreal]

I'm so sorry, E. I agree that kids need their dads. And if a man really wants to be "Mr. Mom", then he should get the opportunity. We all know it didn't work out so well for my H, but he never really asked for the role--he just kind of got pushed into it.

I don't think there is one reason you shouldn't have joint custody of your kids that HAS TO DO WITH YOU.

I still wonder if she isn't trying to hurt you. Or like Cat said on my thread--she's found your biggest button & is pushing it. I can see where some moms might be afraid of abandoning their kids, but if she really cared about that she wouldn't be doing what she's been doing for the past few months. Nope--I still think this is meant only to hurt you.

She knows her stuff--there is no way this wasn't going to hurt you.

I don't have any real answers as to how to deal with her. I do see that you have your inlaw's support on this. And although I really agree with all of you, I worry that hearing how wrong this decision is from so many fronts is only going to make her feel like she is being ganged up on.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to DB a custody situation? I really don't think she has the kid's best interest at heart.
