Oops, I actually meant 2x4s, not 4x4s. Two very different things!
Thank you unbidden. It's down to the wire now.
jbnati, I think you've chimed in before on one of my threads. Thanks also for your prayers.
UPDATE Even if it was just for 4 hours, it was super awesome to see and be with our son. I hope he missed me too (well, I know he does); he kept asking if he could come back to our/my house.
I hope you had a witness with you, b/c that kid does NOT sound afraid or abused.
And I hope you are NOT alone with your w. I would not have any unwitnessed coversations with her. If you feel compelled to explain, then say --- "well STBXW, I have to have friend/neutral party with me when I see you, b/c I can't take the chance that you'll twist something or make something up in an effort to keep son to yourself- since that is clearly happening already."
Heck, if I were your L I'd suggest your respond to her email games with written pieces of your own, saying things like
"STBXW, you cannot possibly believe this lie" and or "I cannot believe you'd stoop this low JUST so you can uproot our son to meet your latest demanding career goal. Of course I do NOT say this to hurt you but ONLY Out of concern for E..."...see how that works both ways?? But obviously, do NOT do any of this without your lawyers approval b/c I do not want to supplant them in any way.
At best she's an emotionally off balance woman who IMMEDIATELY called law enforcement b/c of a weird thing her TWO year old son said-
and or who convinced herself of this b/c it VERY Conveniently helps her get her son completely, and effectively removes you from the equation for life...
or, at worst--
& FAR more likely, b/c she functions too well in her other areas to be a lunatic-
she's launching the nukes to get her way & won't stop til she gets it all.
If she dares respond to that w/anger or indignation, straighten her out about who is doing what to whom NOW....not a year ago or 3 years ago but TODAY...
she is attacking you with the most awful of lies.
If your son really said that to her she ought to know better than to believe it so fast AND ACT ON IT...her gun sure was loaded.
But I don't believe it AT ALL.
Read Dorothy Rabinowitz's articles on the McMartin trials or google it. A ton of people went through hell and it was mostly based on a "Salem witch trial" atmosphere, that began with one wacky mother in a divorce/custody battle and sucked in so many innocents. (Sound familiar?)
That mother died of her long standing alcoholism in the 2nd trial...but she had lit the fire. It burned many folks but it also lead to a lot of research on "false memory syndrome" in children, which your wife may wish to create... One of my brothers worked on the defense in that case despite normally being a federal prosecutor. THAT is how freaked out many of us in the legal profession were. (Yes now and then we L's do good things,& for free!)
I know I'm warning you a lot here Alamo...but I am also praying for you my friend.
I can't wait til this is over for you. Have you shared all your fears with your lawyers?
I had to explain that I'd really love that, but mom was waiting for him.
My poor little man. I hope we get to see each other (tentatively) on Tuesday before the big hearing on Wednesday.
Are you taking this information in? I know it's gross,
but you HAVE TO HEAR US...
I mean geez, how often do we all agree??
