Apparently the "issue" for today was just about the visitation issue- I didnt hear anything about the wording of the temporary sole custody that his atty said he would approach this session.
1st off, I provided my atty w/ a written account of everything he accussed me of last nite at that meeting. My attorney then said that they still do not want supervised visiation b/c "M says you always left her with him while you worked, so you know he is a good father". I said "Yes, SOMEONE had to work to pay the mortageg & put food on the table, & he never included her in his rageful episodes. BUT those last couple of months he began to use her in that way, to try to get to me, & that’s when I realized I had to file for divorce". & since then, I have asked for only supervised visitation, once the RO was lifted on her.
I reiterated to my atty that after that incident at the visit, I KNOW his mental state is a mess, & I said "This is 1 thing I will NOT back down on. I know him, I know what he is capable of & I am the only one right now who can protect our daughter". He asked me to reiterate exactly what happened in the visit (I wont go into the fact that I would THINK he should have had that info at his fingertips ... but I have bigger fish to fry right now). He then, in my prescence, called STBX’s atty over & said "Terry (M's atty), I think you ought to speak to your client b/c he isnt telling you what really happened at that visit. My client is giving a total different account". M’s atty said, VERY belligerantly "Yeah, well we will just have to bring in J, the supervisor, & let HIM tell you what he saw, b/c I know what my client is saying IS the truth". He then looked me right in the eye & said "How long WAS that visit Rebecca?" I said "45 minutes b/c Averey called me at that point, upset & said she did want me to pick her up". He said, MORE belligerantly, "Yeah, right. After YOU called HER & TOLD HER you were coming to pick her up". I got SO mad, I mean I was FUMING (HUGE rash up my neck! lol), & I said "Check the phone records ..." he sort of blew that off & I said LOUDLY "CHECK THE PHONE RECORDS & you WILL see his is lying thru his teeth". (I am not happy either, that MY atty stood by & let that incident even happen, but it did just sort of happen quickly). & then I said "You arent my atty, I will speak to Jerry (my atty)


Wow.... unfortunately, I think she will have to go for the visit, whether she wants to or not, so..... I'm thinking that you should keep telling her that daddy isn't frustrated with her... just you.... and I would also encourage her to talk to her counselor about it.
