Peek-A-Boo Daddy Issue

[nythng4mygrl]

Thank you Wiley. My point about stepmom is that she emails me and when I try to contact dad, he has no idea what is going on. She plays games, which is why I ignore most of her emails.

Silverplum is right. I am filled with rage and very defensive. I want all of this to go away, and I want stepmom to stay away from me and I want her to not touch my daughter anymore. I feel that when dad talks to me during exchanges (which hasn't been since beginning of November), or has a telephone conversation with me, everything is fine, we agree to disagree, or we just plain agree. There is no drama involved, until I receive the emails which are not from him.

I guess I just need to pick my hill to die on.

Wiley, my attorney has made numerous attempts to contact his attorney, however the letters go un-answered. There is no manipulation going on. Everytime dad would come in and out of daughter's life, she would get scared and he would ask her if she would spend one day during the weekend with him from 9-6. Then the following visit she would do the same thing, then she would sleep over for 1 night. then he would disappear, then she would go for one day during the weekend from 9-6. She RARELY has slept at his house in the last 3 years. SHe has it stuck in her head that she wants to see him from 9-6 on a Saturday or Sunday. I do not believe in pitting one against the other.

CJane, I NEVER said that I was going to file a rule for contempt because Dad was not exercising his visitation. YOU ALL ARE PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH!!!!! I said there is a law against a parent not exercising their visitation and I explained that he has not done so in 4 months and that because of the new law I COULD file a rule for contempt. Trust me, he has done his fair share of not obeing court order and I don't need that ONE issue to take him to court. I brought it up ONCE, and other posters were DETERMINED to make fun of me, call me a liar, call BS on me, and what not, so I got the factual information on forwarded it.

Dude. I wasn't putting words in anyone's mouth. Nor was I directing anything at all at YOU.

I simply posted the link to the actual statute as passed/signed by the governor. It differs from the original bill that you'd posted and I thought it might be helpful for OTHER people from Louisiana to have the CORRECT and COMPLETE information.

Also, I was pointing out that it's really not a law that is going to make someone who wouldn't normally visit their child suddenly decide they needed to. Hence the statements about children dying due to this statute were perhaps a bit over the top.

Maybe you could let go of the victim mentality a bit?

BFD. Nowhere does it say "Greatly reduced parenting time" or "A new reintroduction period for a nearly tween child".

I apologize CJane. I did get defensive, because I was attacked harshly by disclosing the "new law" and sincerely apologize. I took it that you were directing the remark to me because I mentioned gradually increasing visitation if dad agreed to it.

Thank you all. My attorney just went to court to file a rule. He also was able to get a temporary stay order that allows me to keep my daughter until we go to court since he was just released from jail.

I appreciate all of your advice, especially you Wiley and LdiJ. I promise to use it wisely and hopefully do not have to come back on here for awhile.

Thanks again EVERYONE.
