[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 256182, member: 6705"] HMMMM... No offense, but he seems to be the sort of "stereotypical" divorced father that made it darn near impossible for my husband to get residential custody from the kids' mother. I can't say for sure. Now, I don't know the whole situation, but if you were married and/or living together, how were difficult child's issues then? I am, of course, making an assumption here. I know that with difficult child 2, when his mother had residential and we were exchanging kids at the "visitation center", we had major problems when it came time to take him back. He would literally glue himself to us or under the chairs, in the closet etc. in the waiting area. What had happened was that he was never sure when he would see Daddy, because biomom would randomly cancel visits (really pointless reasons, too - her car window was broken, her monthly, she was [B]tired[/B], I could go on and on) - and when I say randomly, I mean the kids got to see husband about once every two to four weeks. Sometimes less, sometimes more. We had [B]severe[/B] abandonment issues here. When we were ordered to stop using the visitation center, things got better. Biomom could no longer just not show up, so we picked the kids up each and every visit. She still sometimes denied visits, but that was the exception (until her boyfriend started his garbage with difficult child 1). So my question really is, because I've been there done that got that ripped T-shirt, is it in any way possible that difficult child blames [I]you[/I] for her father being, well, irresponsible? Easier to blame you, because he takes her to the movies, the "Disneyland Dad" stuff... [/QUOTE]
