So I call him back and told him that now suddenly he is sick and has really bad congestion so bad that I can barely understand what he is saying (10 mins before he sounded fine).
Mine does that too. He missed 4 visits last month, because he was sick.
Sons dad has court ordered visit today 4-7pm. He called a week ago and said he would be working the 3-11pm shift now on Sat. He asked if the visit could be done 9-12 or 10-1pm, he preferred 10-1pm. So I said okay 10-1pm is fine but I would need the schedule change in writing, and his lawyer to contact my lawyer.
Son waited in his chair this morning 10 - 10:40 am this morning with his coat hat and gloves on waiting for his dad. No show. Son called dad at 10:45 asking why he was late. Dad said he was getting ready and would be over. I said dad can't come now (he has a 1/2 leeway to be late and that would be past 11am). His dad said he didn't have anything in writing, and only a phone message to his lawyer. I will not let son out the door anyway at any other time other that 4-7pm with his father unless it is in writing because of a court order.
The games and manipulation for visitation have never ended. I just choose not to be drawn into the drama, but to see son wait and dad not show is sad. Dad has sabotaged visit days from the beginning.
We'll see if he shows today at 4pm, and catch him in his own game.
You wanted to live this life. You wanted to be on your own and take care of your kids. You wanted her every other weekend now step up and deal with it.....
good thinking Cassandra.
