Ahh, W has already changed her mind. As next week's child custody hearing approaches, W texted me yesterday that I will not have s14 for even 50% of the time, and instead I will get him "a few days each month" (Friday night she told me I could have s14 for the summer). Yes, this is a battle worth fighting for.

I saw d21 Wednesday night, as her move-in with W approaches. We spoke about her pregnancy, school and her job. I did give her a gentle warning about om, given that he is drinking again, that she should be careful as he has in the past had angry outbursts when he drinks.

D21 was not concerned - she told me that last August when om was arrested for breaking into W's place and domestic assault upon W (charges later dropped), that he was so depressed that he attempted suicide by talking a handful of W's pills. I did not know of om's suicide attempt. D21 brushed it off as om gets depressed when he gets drunk. She believes om has PTSD from when he was child and he was beaten.

Ok, ok, I realize I am making too many reports of bad things about om. Yes, I know it is not healthy to tell others om's problems, and thereby try and build myself. My only defense is that I want to make sure I have a place to write these stories down, as the court battle over custody of s14 is approaching.
