No jenny, it is YOU who has the serious problem? You may claim to be a nurse, but I doubt it since any nurse should know that both stroke and/or brain tumor by definition are brain damage. Where is your legal advice to OP? Where is your advice to OP as a nurse? You gave none, not a referal to an attorney nor to medical providers. Are you still upset because I am one of the posters who called you on your thread "Opinions wanted" the other day, the one which you since deleted rather than face up to your own issues and think that no one will remember? Even your 2 remaining answers offer no appropriate advice of any sort. If you are ignorant, please don't respond to posts.
Furthermore, I gave appropriate referals to neuropsychologist for assesment and treatment (The appropriate provider to assess cognitive and emotional function as opposed to a neurologist) and to brain injury organizations for other supportive assistance. None of that is making a diagnosis, nor making one without sufficiant information. What is happening is a common result of neuro deficits re executive functioning. Yes, I happen to be a qualified forensic witness, in the field of neuroscience. Tigger gave a dramatic example from a person dealing with a similar situation. Thank you Tigger for supporting my answer.
Also jenny, if I had been out of line, I would have been challenged by one of the other senior members, which did not happen. BTW, since this is someone else's thread even if you delete your post here, my copy of it will remain on record, so there is no covering up of your tracks here
Jenny I suggest you deal with your personal issues, quit trying to control other's lives and denying them their legal rights.
IMPORTANT: JENNY, IF YOU ARE A NURSE, PLEASE INFORM YOUR EMPLOYER THAT YOU ARE IGNORANT AND DANGEROUS TO YOUR PATIENTS, they need to know this because they are responsible for your actions. After you have done that, call your ex so that appropriate custody arrangements can be made for your child/children.
EDIT-Jenny just in case you think we don't remember her are some of the posts you deleted on threads such as "overnights with daddy" You have a personal agenda re father having parental rights:

Following is a short copy of the article on their recommendations:
OP previously made reference to this in her other posts, if you had bothered to read them, there is some history here and you are making large assumptions.
I am sorry some of the posters are so rude. A little empathy on their part would be nice. I also encourage you to do a search on young children and overnight visits. I think phasing in the overnight visits is conducive to rearing a happy, emotionally healthy, secure child. By phasing in the visits you are insuring that your son not only maintains the trust he has in you, but also helps him to develop a bond and trust relationship with his father. A win, win situation for all. Good luck!
There is no need to be sorry because we are not rude but rather other experienced mothers, some of whom have also breastfeed their children. How the law looks at this issue is the question, not in providing empathy. OP has come to realize that her child needs to be weaned and that her child will greatly benefit from a relationship with their father and that that may even facilitate the process. I have always encouraged mothers to breastfeed their children,, however, it is no excuse to interfere with the relationship between a child and their father, a child needs both parents, not just one with milk on tap. Resolving these issues and learning to coparent a child will greatly reduce stress in their lives.

You, and other posters are absolutely rude. Empathy is a good characteristic in any person. Are you implying that those who have a different opinion than yours are unexperienced mothers? I believe that all parents should facilitate a relationship with the NCP. I also believe the AGE of the child, amount of time NCP has spent with child,whether child is being breast fed, and ability of child to understand circumstances all play a factor in when overnight visits should begin. Because of the situation a divorce puts the CHILDREN in, we as the ADULTS have to make the choice to do certain things to maintain the childs stability, security, and routine that usually come with an intact home. It may not be the most convenient thing for the parents, but in the best interest of the children. I believe huntersmommy is doing and trying to do what is in the best interest of her son. I sense nothing in what she has said that would even remotely imply that she is trying to offset a relationship with her child's father. Everything that she has said has been in direct concern as to what is best for her son. She is also willing to compromise if in the best interest of her son. What would greatly reduce stress on lives would be for parents to start putting the children first, and stop thinking of their own selfish needs. Learning to co-parent is a great concept. The only problem is being a good parent and putting the children's needs first, and the willingness of the parents to work together is a CHOICE. Unfortunately, many do not make that choice....and the vicious cycle continues..."
My response to you then which prompted you to delete your posts:
"Jenny,
Being forthright is not being rude and what is needed on this site. Do you even understand the meaning of empathy vs sympathy? Why you didn't even offer condolences, now who is rude?"
Jenny, you can run but you can't hide. Your lies and agenda are all to clear. You are angry because you didn't get the advice you wanted and because we called you on it when you tried to hijack other threads like you tried here.
You are a troll, you offered no advice here, only an unwarranted and ignorant attack on me. You and your friend, mattdillon and spectropop can go play your games somewhere else.
