the new year isn't off to a good start, so far, 2011 sucks!
my friend's soon to be ex filed for divorce and custody and informed him thursday she had no intentions of bringing their daughter back from her 3 week visitation. she had a court order and everything. he can't get into legal aid until monday, so he's racked with frustration and worry.
they had an argument where she perceived he was telling her she was a bad mother and 2 days later she files for divorce and custody. i told him sometimes you got to bite your tongue and with her, he just can't do that. she baits him and he rises to it every time. he's had his daughter for almost 2 years but never formalized the custody and it's really biting him in the butt now.
i feel bad for their little girl more then anything. she's being ripped from her current school, which she loved, and has to start a new school on tuesday. she hasn't spent more then 1 day with her puppy, Otis, that I got her for christmas. she wanted to wait until she got back from her mom's to open her christmas' presents with her dad, so now she didn't even have christmas with her dad, plus i bought her tons of new clothes that are with her dad.
i don't see why she couldn't wait until her little girl finishes her first year of school before asking for custody. this is the most destructive and disruptive way to do this. and it makes me sad for Jade, who loves her mommy and her daddy and because mommy and daddy can't act like rational adults with each other she suffers.
i feel for my friend, but i hurt for the little one. i know this happens every day and i've never understood it. i guess i was lucky my kid's dad never contested her being with me. the only thing he griped about was child support and once he tried to claim her on his taxes even though he only saw her two to three times a year at his mother's.
it's giving me a headache from the worry. i just want my little toots to be okay.
