[QUOTE="Shari, post: 325682, member: 1848"] J3 you make a very good point. On the flip side of the coin, tho, the parents shouldn't keep the child from the ex-spouse for the sake of keeping the child away, but it happens all the time and sounds like this might be one of those cases. If the parents are married and the kid says "I wanna ride with dad to the grocery store" mom's not going to say "YOU CAN'T GO WITH HIM!!!"...but once divorced...it happens all the time. I'm divorced, and I'm not so sure it [I]shouldn't [/I]be illegal. Or at least a lot harder to get. I know a lot of divorced people and the people who use their kids as pawns far outweigh the people who do right by their kid, probably 10 to 1. Its not right, but I don't know how you fix it. And for the record, I feel like a hippocrite saying that, given I will do anything to keep my ex out of wee difficult child's picture at this point...but, I justify that because he made a choice 7 years ago to walk away from difficult child...bringing him back into the picture now would not be good for difficult child...so I just intend to make him stick with his original choice, at least until such a time as it won't be detrimental to difficult child. I'm sure my opinion of easy child 2's mom is jaded, too. Again, I justify that by saying I knew her 10 years before easy child 2 was born...and my opinion of her hasn't changed. [/QUOTE]
