I should have been dancing a happy dance yesterday but instead cried myself to sleep last night...AGAIN! Yesterday was the GAL report hearing as it was called as an emergency because STBX neglected our dd last weekend while he gambled away even more of the money he owes me. He shows up in court with a makeshift bandage on his hand and tells the judge he shot a screwdriver through it. She let him leave and go to the emergency room to get it taken care of. He wasn't even bleeding and could have sat in court for 30 minutes while the judge had hair follicle drug tests done on him (he was ordered to do this months ago and hasn't). Instead he whined about how bad it hurt and no one even made him show the wound. I can't understand how he continues getting away with all the delays he himself causes.

Now we have to go to court on Monday, and I'm almost positive that he will do something else to cause another delay. I would almost be willing to bet that he did this on purpose just to get out of court. This man is sick!

The only thing good that came out of this was the judge did uphold the suspension on his visitation until Monday...I don't have to worry about whether or not he will leave her again to do something he would rather be doing. And leaving her with the brat pack he calls his kids. I know she will get her medication at the times she needs it.

Thanks for listening and would someone please tell me I'm not crazy?

Nope, you're not the nutter here. It's all him. I'm glad the court is hearing your concern for now - best of luck on Monday.

What's crazy here is the crap this guy gets away with! I am so sorry you have to deal with this.

Your not crazy. But it sure sounds like he is. And I am also questioning the judge's sanity at this point as well. I don't have many good things to say about the legal system either, but that is a whole other issue for later posts, I guess. Take care and good luck!
