day seven

There was no day six.

This is actually early on day eight, but...

Is it a coincidence that my daughter told me that my brother-in-laws phones had been out since they moved into the new house but that they miraculously were fixed the day after I contacted the Guardian ad Litum. Obviously Chelsea didn't know about me contacting Ms. Horner. It is a shame that everyone that has kids(whether they are the parents or not) can't put aside their selfish desires and actually do what is truly the best for the kids.

How many times have you heard of a custodial parent using his or her child to satisfy their vindictive attitude towards the non-custodial parent. I saw it with my best friend. His ex-wife used their daughter to get back at him. In the long run, all she did was hurt her daughter. I won't go into all of the things this family has suffered over the last few years, but it is harrowing to say the least. A child of a broken home deserves to be treated with kid gloves(no pun intended).

My children have two parents. We don't live together anymore. We do however live within a few minutes of our kids. Yet our kids aren't allowed to spend time with us. I can't imagine the impact this will have on their lives. They are being taught that parents can be thrown away. Will this lead them to think that children can be thrown away; that spouses can be thrown away; that their own lives can be thrown away?

I pray not!
