It is likely I will soon be facing her in court in an effort to regain unsupervised visitation rights, so I will have a number of people scrutinizing me. I know I can't allow them to affect my behavior one way or the other - I can only be myself - but I am also very aware of their eyes on me and how they will interpret whatever I say and do. It is what it is. I will never give up on my kids.
