Shippd,

You'll recall earlier in this thread that I told Emily that it would be in her best interest if this ends up in court, if she WERE allowing him to see the girls.
I stand by that also because it's just NEVER right for a Mom to keep the Dad from seeing the kids if there is not a history of abuse. However there's no way I think she should let that start this weekend.

Emily need to find herself.
Emily needs to gather HER strength for WHATEVER comes her way so that SHE is able to make rational, educated decisions about HER future.

Yes, he is young too but he is not the one reaching out to us for help.
Emily is.

As for whatever "taste" he gets in his mouth, well that'll be due to all the bullsh*t that comes out of it to BOTH of these young women.

It is my opinion that Emily would do much better if she had ZERO contact with him for a few weeks.
She would be stronger and more clear headed with each passing day and when he did contact her...IF she took the call....he'd find quite a different WOMAN on the other end.

THAT is when I can see her doing some kick-ass DBing.
