My mother has submitted a statement in support of SeaFed to the court. Which is kind of funny, because she submitted a statement in support of me during the divorce. Yo-ho.
More when I can think. Court Thursday. I am worried this will all be done before Franny can even have her opinion heard.
UGH!
That was TOTALLY my reaction as well. That woman is such a bad penny.
My mother is a world-class cunt, and even SHE never managed to testify on behalf of my shitheel ex-husband.
Probably because she’s wanted in this state and one of the ones she’d most likely either have to fly out of or have a layover in to get here, but potato potahhhto.
Oh. My. Fucking. God. That’s…I…what…how…what?
I seriously do not know how you are able to maintain serenity and not go on a mad smack-a-bitch spree. That must seem like such a spit in the face.
I really have no helpful advice. I’ll just keep you and Franny in my thoughts.
Lucky for me, I think my mother thinks anything is justified since I confronted her last Xmastime and told her I believe she’s an out-of-control alcoholic and that I don’t want her unsupervised with Franny. There’s your motivation right there…
Thanks.
Oh my god, that is so ridiculous. I hope the court doesn’t give it more weight just because it’s your own mother. D:
I’m sorry, what? I have no words…just…none.
This gives me a sicky-sick feeling in my stomach. Hoping things go in your favor this week in court.
I figured that was the motivation. She knows that SeaFed will allow her the unsupervised visitation you won’t.
Doesn’t make her behavior any less WTF.
She still sucks. You still rock. Franny still deserves better. I’m sending the energy out into the Universe that the right decision will be made.
Fucking hell… unbebloodylievable. I’m so sorry SJ. I hope Franny gets to be heard. Will be thinking of you all and hope the court sees sense.
What everyone else said, basically.
You’re doing the right thing. Everything will be fine. Franny will be heard. I’m assuming you’re going to give your opinions as well. What will happen, will happen. Try to breathe.
I like knowing that you will dig your heels in and win, but I sure wish it didn’t have to be so inexplicably UGLY. Lucky Franny to have you fighting on her side. I still have hope it will come out better than it was, better than now.
Well, isn’t that special? It won’t matter. All will be well. All will be well.
Truly shabby. Hope Thursday is better than you expect.
Keeping all fingers, toes, etc. crossed for you and Franny. I’m hoping that everyone’s good wishes will be completely unnecessary, because of course the regular judge will have half a brain and everything will go your way.
Well, from her point of view it makes perfect sense to support SeaFed. He allows her to drunk all over Franny. And this probably plays a part in why he’s cultivated a relationship with her.
Whee.
Good luck. Seriously. Good luck.
Also, have you heard about the form of relationship abuse called “gas lighting”? http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2011/11/21/one-abuse-script-with-many-faces/ unless I’m remembering wrong, you might find some of it applicable to you/people you’ve had relationships with.
Hilarity is one word for it… massivefuckedupeddness is another…
hope this gets worked out soon.
