The boys leave in about an hour with their dad. Normally, this is something I look forward to...my "me" time...but I am a bit of a nervous wreck. I know XH is going to talk to S10 about the current issue. As a matter of fact, S10 told me his dad said they would discuss it.
What is he going to say to my son? What is he going to put in his head???? S10 already said he would just go to BV, but KNOWING how his father is, he's going to come at S10 like, "Are you sure that's what you want? Is that REALLY what you want? Because you kept coming to me and telling me you didn't want to go to BV. You kept telling me you wanted to stay at Fairmont with (friend) and your other friends. Are you sure? 100% SURE? You said you really wanted to live with me."
I'm NOT exaggerating either. I can just hear his father in my head saying that to him...pressing him...causing doubt to creep in.
And I have this nauseating feeling that XH would go as far as to have his ATTY talk to S10...and what if the judge decides to speak with him, too? I'm not so worried about the judge, but XH's ATTY....OMG...is that even legally possible? For her to speak to S10 without my knowledge or consent?
Then my mom was crying this morning...it takes a lot to make my mom shed tears.
I keep reminding myself of what MichelleLT said...that the courts do not favor separating siblings....so what's the worst that could happen? The judge rules for S10 to remain at Fairmont. I would hope that's not likely, considering all the points mentioned, but if it happens, it happens. I will deal with it.
I also hope when this gets to court, that a different judge will oversee it. The one who handled our D case this past year has been rumored to side more with fathers, and I did see some of that with my case.
*Sigh*....trying not to worry...
