He totally agreed that X was out of control Mon nite. He said there has been really only "marginal progress" with him, even though he's had his goo moments.

You and the psych have accomplished a LOT and it is clear in my mind, from what you post here, that you are very much on the side of DD and not at all in the boat of PAS. And you have gone above and beyond what most people would to help the other parent in a situation like yours. I do pray that you have the right documentation and the judge to see and appreciate what you have done - and to make the best decision for DD - to keep her safe and to keep visits supervised and for TAZ to pay for those.

All of this is good. I will pray for you for sure - keep us posted!!!!!!!!!

I forgot something really major the psyc said today - he talked about how X has "No impulse control" & how due to that, it makes him very unstable & unable to parent safely. I hope he puts THAT in the report!

That sounds really positive & hopeful Rebecca.
So THAT'S what you do with your time! Sit around teaching your dd how to spell swear words! Totally unbelievable!!!!

"No impulse control" & how due to that, it makes him very unstable & unable to parent safely.


That does sound like the key concept!


DS-13 is in grief counseling, and DD-11 knows she can go if she wants.

But I think that was okay, Rebeccah - because you were explaining what is acceptable behavior and what is not - it is not like you were poisoning her mind - and I do remember your story about how he called both of you fat cows.

And really, his little comment about your poisoning her mind is so insignificant according to what he did.

I do hope you have the alcohol mentioned and documented - because you did smell it on him the night of the father daughter dance - and he cannot drive with her in the car when he is drunk - I do hope you tell the psych that and put that in the papers too.

I would really feel better if visitation was changed. Of course sole custody would be safer still. It is not like you are refusing to have him see her - you have gone through a lot of trouble to let them see each other and keep her safe and try to get him help. I believe you have done more than maximum.

I meant to comment Mike to you, about that from your 1st post - Its just been a crazy week!


The sucky thing is, i would LOVE that, but we do not have that anywhere near here. The closest visitation center is 1 hr away.

I did make sure to bring up to the psyc yesterday, to remind him, about the ETOH on his breath the nite of the dance. He made a very "concerened" face about it, so I know he realizes it.
