The BIG D and its Path of Destruction - Part 2

[LITB]

How so?

I should have been specific when speaking of skeletons. I wanted to be honest about mine first and foremost.

I did not speak of the ones in my XW’s closet and her mother’s.

When my XW was growing up, her parents went through a contentious D when she was 8. For about 2 years, her mother was physically abusive to her. This is a skeleton in both my XW’s and X-MIL’s closet. My X-MIL hid it from their family despite the signs. Now this is based on what my XW told me, which I believe to be true.

Also, after the D of her parents, her father walked out of her life and she didn’t see him for 10 years. Even after he did come back into her life, he has never been a stable individual.

A couple of years later, her mother remarried. Not long after the marriage, her stepfather was convicted of some serious crimes. He spent about 13 years in the pen. My X-MIL took my XW to all of the hearings and then later to see him in prison.

These are the biggest examples that I can think of and I believe her having to experience these hardships has had an impact on some of her decisions as a parent. Just as an aside, the last 2 examples are not skeletons, but known facts.

Additionally, I feel as though a rational thinking person, much less a psychologist will see right through the untruthfulness of the statements in her declaration.

Neither of these ever hindered my ability to be a great father.

Then I see no reason it should be discussed.

Hopefully it will not be discussed.

We shall see what my XW decides when I push for the evaluation.
