[QUOTE="Lil, post: 724589, member: 17309"] This is all he can do. SWOT, maybe I'm prejudiced, but lawyers get a bad rap. Even good lawyers can't win them all. A good lawyer does his level best for his client and truly wants what is best for them...but you can't win them all...and when you don't win, then people assume it's the lawyer's fault in some way when it often just isn't. I believe you when you say she's a bad mom and Bart's a great dad...but you only hear Bart's side of this and maybe there is a reason that the parent coordinator seems to be leaning toward the mom? Maybe she isn't seeing what you see in the mom...but maybe she is also seeing something you aren't seeing in Bart? It's very hard to tell because there are two sides to every story and usually the truth is somewhere in the middle. In most cases I've found that if neither side is happy, it's probably the fairest outcome possible. In every single case, there is a winner and a loser. Sadly, in child-related domestic cases, the only real loser is often the kid. This is the worst part. You are not a therapist. You can't help him cope. It's unfair of him to expect so much of you when he won't seek professional help...if not for himself then for his son. His lack of coping skills has to leak over into his whole life and that can't be good for anyone! Of course you can't...and I'm so sorry for you. He's put you in just an awful spot. And you can say, "I wish I could help, but I'm not a lawyer, I don't know what would be best, so all I can do is listen and pray." and from what you've said, he'll just be nasty to you. All of us wishing we could help you...all we can do is listen and pray as well. :hugs: [/QUOTE]
