What is the name of your state? CA
My last thread was locked but I did want to post this because I am livid with my son's coach, assistant athletic director (AAD), and of course my ex. My oldest son's football team came into my town to play last Friday. If you read my last post, you saw the 2 emails sent to me by my ex-wife and one of them saying I cannot see him outside of therapy. Well, although Miss Met advised me on a possible reply, I've been so busy and did not have the time to reply to my ex. I got off early and went to watch the game. My parents were there and after the game, I went down to the field to see my son. I went up to him and said hello and he said hi back. I thought he may have felt apprehensive, but we hugged and he sat and started eating and talking to me. In fact, he started talking. This is the same boy my ex told in front of me for him to tell me he did not want me as his father.
We were having a nice time, a first in a very long time, when his head coach called him away from me. (By the way, my son sits on the bench, never plays ever and when I observed a practice a few weeks back, he stood on the sidelines with other players who did not participate in any drills or actual practices) My point, the coach doesn't even care that my son exists since he is not a star player and he calls him away from me and sends over the ADD. The ADD comes to me and tells me I am not allowed to see or speak to my son and that I must leave. I tell him I am his father and SHARE joint legal and physicak custody of him. He still stands firm. I feel myself getting angry and I ask if he has any legal documentation stating I have a restraining order and he says no. My mother comes over and starts to cry because of the ordeal and I decide to leave after arguing with the ADD, because I tell him I am on his ER card, his record as father and they are violating my rights. I know that if I stayed any longer, I would probably have done something I would be regretting today.
I was LIVID! On my way home, I called my girlfriend upset about the entire ordeal. My ex-wife had called the coach and this is what transpired from her contact. I didn't know if I was more mad at her or them. I want to write the school principal, the AThletic Director, the school district's superintendent and father's rights groups as well as the local newspaper to report this but feel out of control angry about this. The first time I have a nice moment with one of my children it is shot to hell by these people. PLEASE help me understand what I can do at this point and time. At first I thought it was about me, but than I think about all the other NCPs out there who have gone through this or will go through this. What can I do? Anything? I feel like suing them, and NO not for money, but so that schools and organizations and CPs can know they cannot get away with this.
