09/01 Custody Chaos
Children don't understand a lot about relationships, but they do understand when you hate half of them. Each parent hates the other and even a two year knows that two halves make a whole. These two went ahead and made two other humans and now they are both doing their level best to damage them. No matter how bad a parent is, children will love them. These two, and a lot of people, have no idea what love means. Neither one of them deserves children, but that is irrelevant at this point. They can learn and make a new start, if they can love more then they hate. Love is doing what is best, and a lot of times it's really hard. No matter how much you dislike your ex you have to remember that your child loves them. You do what you have to for your kids, no matter how yucky it makes you feel. I like to have little day dreams about sharp, pointy, flaming medieval things falling from the sky onto the heads of people annoying me. It always makes me smile, and then I get on with things. If you give your evil thoughts a place in your head, it vents the pressure and it’s harmless. In other words, keep your ugly mouth shut, and smile till it kills you. Your babies are worth it. If the father really does have porn and guns laying about then that is something she definitely has to have addressed in court. If she is playing fast and loose with a court order to stay in a certain state then he needs to have that addressed in court. They also need to have a discipline agreement. Both need to realize that they are no longer together and what happens in each other's house is none of their business, as long as it's not illegal or dangerous. Everyone has different morals and you cannot impose yours. Custody is never static, and should always start as 50\50. It can be adjusted as needs change. I wonder if they could learn to behave if their children were ordered into foster care. How much do they really love them? From what I’ve seen one parent is usually less involved, and the situation resolves itself. One day children will be adults and realize that parents are just flawed humans like they are. Hopefully they felt loved by both parents.
