It could have gone either way, I think. The judge chose to allow it to go to mediation instead of looking at the proposed plan on the merits.
I can see that my life isn't going to get much easier. Drama. Yay. XW yelled at D because D was playing her recorder for her during their phone time, and she wanted to talk instead. Apparently, D got pissed off and hung up on her. So she called back, and insisted that D come to talk to me in the other room about what she had done. D just started saying she was tired and wanted to go to sleep. and XW told her she had to talk. D left the room leaving me to talk to XW.
XW started complaining that D was tired when she called. I pointed out that I sent a text the other night asking if she should call earlier, and she didn't bother to respond. Her response to that was that she shouldnt have to, because we'd had a conversation a couple of months ago. She started yelling, D in the other room started crying, and I told XW to STOP arguing in front of D. That if we had to have this conversation, take it to text. No dice, because "I don't have anything to say to you."
I told XW that I raised D not wanting to talk to her with my C, and how I didn't like being put in the position of telling D she HAD to talk to her mother. What to do here? C said that sometimes D should be allowed to simply not talk to her. XW said this wasn't acceptable!
I won't quote the text messages. Suffice to say they're six different kinds of crazy.
This [censored]. This woman is not stable. This woman is not rational. This woman wants to be D's primary caretaker!
