[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 584794, member: 2196"] difficult child cannot go to her dad's simply because he does not want her. Stepmom surely does not want her. She hates difficult child and has said so. Calls her a b**tch, stupid, etc and has an intense dislike for her. Ex knows this and does not want any trouble between the two. So he has stated that he wants my son and not her. I do feel bad for him, in a way, since his older son committed suicide a few years ago. He really blew it with him big time. Treated him badly when he was alive. And now he feels, rightfully so, partly responsible for his death. So he wants a second chance with easy child. He is his only son now. So I am willing to give him that chance in hopes that he can be a better father the second time around. At least he is promising not to make the same mistakes he made the first time. So that is why he is choosing easy child. I feel like I can be a positive role model for difficult child and I can be a better advocate for her education than ex can. And I really do feel like I can handle raising just her for now until I get more stabilized. Since reducing my Paxil two weeks ago I am feeling much better and the rapid cycling has stopped, but the depression is still partly there. I feel like easy child will be better off at his dad's for now, but if he gets treated badly or is not adjusting well I will make moves to get him back in a heartbeat. So I really am hoping I am making the right choice. [/QUOTE]
