for those interested in the http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/f10/cops-called-wife-gone-32731/ thread --
When we went to court (with my new lawyer) the judge ordered, as we asked, supervised visitation only (wife hurting difficult child just before the court date didn't help her case) and custody evaluation. wife made her first appointment with the visit supervisor, then on the day of the scheduled visit, within an hour or so, she called the supervisor to cancel it, then to reinstate it, then canceled it again, with the supervisor going ballistic informing me of this final move. Since then she decided (communicated via a third person) to have 0 contact with the kids, save some bizarre christmas and birthday gifts. She also is not signing the custody evaluation form and my wise lawyer advised "if you are ok with the current situation, don't do anything" rather than going to the court to do the custody evaluation without her signature -- unusual for a lawyer to not "churn the case".
And so here we are in this suspended state since August; she might move out of state or might get an idea to knock on our door tomorrow, who knows.
Hard to explain to the 6y.o. easy child; difficult child and the older easy child don't seem to mind this situation at all.
My therapist thiks I should start dating which seems utterly insane to me.
Me -- single dad, about 50
difficult child -- 9m, BiPolar (BP) , 15mg Ablify, 3 mg Intuniv
easy child's 15f , 6m ,
cats, etc
