I have been pondering what to write since I read your desperate, frustrated, angry heart felt words, related to the custody and care matters with your children. I have struggled to come to a post that would validate your experience, but add some perspective. You have however got yourself exactly where you needed to be.
I have been pondering what to suggest to you that would support you to feel more empowered at this conference on Monday. But Zues you did it. In the place that you somehow always seem to find, is the perspective of what truly needed to be done and communicated.
I was going to say, you may not know the names of your children's teachers, but I bet Zues knows, which maths problems is son struggles with or that his daughters favorite dress is the pink one with bow at the back. Or that he can predict exactly what his children will ask for as a treat for movie night. Or that he knows what story book his children will generally pick on any given night. Those are all the things I would want to know from you Zues. And you completely nailed the scrapebook idea, with the photos. When I write reports for the court, I want the judge to be able to imagine this child, I create pictures with words. You have done exactly what is required.
Zues I have written this post over what feels like a thousand times. I have deleted a significant amount I have written that I would like to share with you another time. Maybe after your conference on Monday and maybe it was more for me to write for my own healing.
