I can agree with that... My point is that mom states that dad has only seen the child a few times and SHE has only travelled to MO twice in 11 years. How many times has dad asked? How many times has dad wanted visits in MO? How many times has mom denied? But I can agree with what you have stated as far as it goes. But I think there is more to it and mom is painting dad as ridiculous and not acknowledging her role in depriving dad of time and contact. Her child SHOULD be calling her father back AND answering the phone. Mom doesn't seem to care.I disagree slightly: If dad did not assist mom in making plans for visit, then dad shares a great deal of the blame as well.
Mom should not just show up for one week/weekend, and tell Dad, "we're here, this is your visit!".
If Dad has not tried to coordinate with Mom...
Of course, my opinion is based solely on what Mom has written (and we only have her story to go on...)
I foresee her coming back in a few months and asking how her new hubby/boyfriend can adopt or how she can terminate rights.
