She had requested I bring them as she wanted to speak to D8 in particular, but ended up not doing so. I guess the info I gave her was good enough.
Anyway, she recommended I stay here until the court date which is April 23rd. I believe it's because neither one of us legally have custody of the kids.
She is also going to recommend a mental health evaluation on him. And supervised visitation. She believes with the info I gave her, plus the medications he's on, that the judge will agree. The only one that's probably not going to agree will be SO. He'll probably freak out. Oh well. I guess we'll see.
One thing that bothered me is that she asked me why I stayed so long. Point blank told me "If someone told me he was confused, I'd show him the door." That made me feel bad. And when I'm in that position, when I feel the need to defend myself, I don't do it so very well. And every time I went to open my mouth to say something, I felt like I was about to defend SO somehow...or make excuses for him or something. I didn't like that.
Have I been? I thought by doing things in a different manner, alternative thinking (I.E. Divorce busting) that even if it's different than how someone else would handle it, that it was the right thing to do.
