He Finally Came To His Senses

Oct-14-2008 By Tish

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Caleb’s dad and I had a really long talk Friday night about me having to drive up North every other weekend so he could have Caleb. Not only is it a long drive and expensive (side note: I’m way too excited that gas is down to $2.98 a gallon here!) but it’s not fair.

I have been VERY frustrated with Friend Of the Court. I thought they were here to help the mother and father but I’ve felt everything but helped lately. I have a pretty sour attitude about Friend of the Court lately and how they haven’t helped resolve anything and instead have left me feeling hopeless and running around like a chicken with its head chopped off.

I decided that once again I had to take matters into my own hands. Not that talking is really all that hard or really taking matters into my hands. But I think you get my point. I was so burned out and ticked off by the time I got up North Friday night I wasn’t sure whether to say anything to Caleb’s dad or just let things continue going how they have been. I opted to open my mouth thinking to myself are you dumb or what he’s not going to agree to meeting half-way now if he hasn’t done so yet.

But I talked regardless of that nagging little voice in my head. He listened. Looked me in the eye listened! And much to my surprise he agreed. He agreed to meeting half-way! I was so happy I could have hugged him. I typed up a letter to Friend of the Court and we both signed it and it’s in the mail as of today!

Woo Hoo!

    Aw.. I’m glad that things worked out well for you guys! It must be tough to be in such a situation and its unfortunate that Friend of Court doesn’t really do their job in helping families.

    Communication is key ey?

    Much love to you and your family.

    Pat yourself on the back and do a happy dance! It’s tough to bring up an issue that you know could be the beginning of an unhappy confrontation. Particularly when there are so many emotions involved. Nice job!
