I called DD on phone this afternoon and asked, "Wachadoin?". "I'm at counseling", she replied. X has taken DD and DS to "family counseling" but did not include me as she said the counselor suggested nor did she inform me of the appointment. Previous to this we have communicated all medical appointments of kids to each other (i recently took kids for yearly dental exam and she took them to Ped. for shots).
I have a strong suspicion she is fishing for something to use as justification for her obtaining full custody OR she is attempting to negate DS's question about what would I do if X had a gun and wouldn't let him leave (the boy has great insight of intent, don't he?). She flipped when she learned he said that and drove him straight to a counselor. I didn't know they had drive through service. Point being if anyone says she might do something unstable it's proof in her mind they are off their rocker and need to see a counselor ASAP.
I've never been in a custody fight. The unknown is daunting. I can only hope the counselor is good and sees X has issues.
I'm glad now I had that very brief talk with the kids about custody.
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
