[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 681781, member: 18271"] Yes, which is why he has had the baby all this week. He returns him to her tomorrow. A friend of mine, who knows the WHOLE situation recommended my son contact the local Abuse center for help too- because in THEIR situation, he was the ABUSED (physically, emotionally, etc)- given that she was the only one charged- I'm told that they may help him and help him get back into court to modify this order. He goes thursday to talk with them. Cross your fingers. He has so many of his own issues to work through- but I have to say seeing him be a father to this sweet baby has been very heartwarming for me. I knew he had "it" in him- that soft side, the side that can reflect.....he worries about this baby all the time. ALL THE TIME. Because you know, he lived with her- he KNOWS her far better than any of us do. So because he worries, I worry (and I'm trying so hard to not do that- or I'll make myself crazy).... You know, unrelated to him in particular but overall- it's such a shame that the 'system' views dad's rights to be worth no more than four nights a month. They were getting along and he had the baby quite a bit- she works midnight shift at a hospital- so he kept the baby those nights- but because she's chosen to be hateful - she's decided he cannot do this anymore and is paying a 'friend' to watch him. He has NEVER stayed with non-relatives- not in all his seven months. I'm proud that he's managed his anger in this. Because I know him, and a year ago? No telling what he would do. But he's learning- because of his son - he MUST manage it and THINK first. He slips, but it's been very interesting for me to see. [/QUOTE]
