Update from Dawn?

[Zephyr]

Text him back with your lawyer's phone number, sheesh.

I know that legally speaking he's allowed to be a crappy parent... but this? This is over the top redunkulous! Does she have any legal recourse against him in this instance?

 

[ecmst12]

She has no obligation to give in to any of his demands and she can legally ignore them. If he shows up and wants to violate the court order, she can tell him to get lost. A letter from her lawyer reminding him of his rights as far as how much visitation he is allowed and when might knock some sense into him, since he probably isn't going to listen to anything that SHE says at this point. Lawyer can inform him that when baby is released from the hospital, regular visitation will resume, and he gets no make-up visits when it was he who declined to exercise the visitation in the first place.

As this is the case, then I'd just block the blockhead's number.... at least that's ONE stress she can avoid while little guy is sick!

Prayers to the little guy and Dawn!

I too am praying for you and your little guy. I've been following for a while now and registered so I could send you good thoughts.

The actions of his father and stepmom horrify me.

I'm a stepmom who utterly adores her stepson. I would be very upset if I weren't allowed to see him in the hospital. That said, there is no way I'd be DEMANDING to see him. Begging, maybe. Demanding, never.

Hugs to you and yours.

I think if stepmom had ASKED to see the kiddo with dad, before he went into the ICU, mom would have been ok with it. But behaving badly wins you no friends. I'm sure if your stepkid was in the ICU and only allowed visits from blood relatives, you would gracefully step aside.

 

[Ohiogal]

Dawn you are in my thoughts and prayers hon. I hope they find out and cure little one.

 

[thinktank03]

O my gosh. that Poor baby. I hope he gets better. The white blood count your a correct on. Shouldn't have anything to do with his breathing. The RSV and Flu are messing with his poor lungs. I hope he fights and you get some good drs in there. And I agree with everyone saying how Dad is a jerk. Thats an understatement.

GOOD Luck.

Heartily thirded. I can't believe that man. He thinks the little guy is just going to be ready to go like that?
Dawn, please keep us updated when you can. You've got a massive prayer chain going across the states, just from this forum. You can count Canada in there too Hugs to you.

 

[Rushia]

Oh Dawn, I'm so sorry. I am keeping you and your little guy in my prayers.

 

[CJane]

Oh Darlin, you and the little one are in my thoughts and prayers. And I KNOW it's hard, but just ignore Dad. You owe him nothing at this point. And when the baby is better, and you have time, you come on back here and we'll have some suggestions on how to protect your baby from a father who doesn't really give a crap about him.

 

[frylover]

Thinking of and praying for your little man, Dawn.

 

[maryjo]

Dawn, I hope things turn around for the better and FAST! I know how it feels to have your baby in the hospital and feel completely helpless to do anything for him. I am sending happy, positive thoughts your way.

As for dad...well....I hope he just falls off the face of the earth!

 

[wileybunch]

Oh gosh, Dawn, he really is ignorant. I'm sorry.

I hope they figure out what your little guy is doing so they can make it better. Hang in there!

My heart aches for you right now. My thoughts and prayers for you, your son, daughter, and the rest of your loved ones.

You know what I've been wondering? These 3 am calls you're getting? Could it possibly be the wicked step mom? (I know most are not wicked but this one takes it to the extreme)

Your last thread made me wonder. You got a text that said something that "or do you just want to see me?" or something like that supposedly from him. I think some of these are her, fishing and throwing her poison around.

I would also say block the number, but you don't want a big brouhaha at the hospital. But you do know you can erase messages without reading them right? That's what I would do.

((((hugs))))
