Well, if I may be so bold...
When we got into our welfare debate, you we're talking about how you've got it made in life and everything is just great with your minimum wage job!
What made things change so suddenly?
Originally posted by Freddie2004A judge decided yesterday it is in my daughters best interest to be taken every other weekend by her father 5-6 hours out of town. 3 days away from me while she is still being breastfed because he showed the judge a picture of her sitting with a bottle. Which she doesn't actually drink from. She has never spent a single day away from me since birth. She has not even seen him for well over a month. She still wakes up several times through the night to be fed. It breaks my heart to think of the pain she will go through. This is not in her best interests. I have no objections to him seeing her here in town , which is where he lives and works. But his grandparents, who are paying for his lawyer, wants her down there. I still have a very small glimmer of hope in preventing this from happening but I just have no faith in the judicial system anymore. If she was older and fully weaned this wouldn't be such a concern. It would actually be nice for me to get a break once in awhile. My heart is completely dead inside right now.
Huh. Please explain??:'(

Not surprising... you have my sympathies.
I hope the thanksgiving turkey lifts you out of it - if only for a moment...
Our lives are, after all, only a series of moments, Mokko.
Originally posted by mokkoI'm sorry to hear you are down. I'd like to help but things have never been worse for me...
Believe it or not despite all the fuss as of late I'm experiencing the absolute worst moments of my life. I'm trying hard to be positive and optimistic about things but it doesn't always do the trick. Although I did manage to laugh through the pain several times today while thread surfing. Cheers for that.
I need happy stories, moments of joy and things that make you smile. 😀
I'd start but I just can't seem to think of any right now.
Two days ago I buried my mother.
And today Delphi (whom I've worked for for nearly 40 years) announced bankruptcy. 😳
They said the average retirement will drop from $3,000/month down to $1,700. It means I'll have to quit my job as a designer and transfer back to General Motors. I'm destroyed.
Originally posted by mokkoFor what it is worth both my children were bottle feed almost from day 1 & it never did them any harm. As long as the father is responsible I'm sure everyting will be alright. A child needs it father just like its mother, plus in the long run these visits will give you valuable time to yourself so that you can catch up with things like sleep & having a social life. 🙂

Originally posted by mokkoGood god! You are a little 120 or so pound woman and you are losing a child custody battle to a MAN?! WTF?! I would think you would win that by default the way the courts run these issues nowadays! What did you do to screw this up, seriously? Ah well, maybe it's good, seems like you need a break, and as already said, I doubt anything will happen to the baby if she is not breast fed for a few weeks.

If baby was older it wouldn't be an issue. I would welcome the break. He works here and resides here and I don't know why a judge would seem it necessary to remove her from town for three days with ultimately strangers. I would be all for the man seeing her every day if that's what he wanted. This is only to hurt me. Not for her best interests. This man never even wanted this child or utalized his time to be with her when given the chance. This is simply because I removed him from my life and now he wants to hurt me as much as possible. The only thing I did wrong was go to legal aid to try and help me which nobody ever did. I have evedince to his lies and nobody has made any effort on my behalf to present the documentation I have before the judge. I'm still fighting for justice and still hold on to hope and truth to see this through. It's absolutely sickeneing to me what certain parents, male or female, are capable of saying and doing out of revenge with no thought to their children. It's malicous and cruel to those who it affects the most, the kids.
