It didn't go as well as I had hoped, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The fact that I was extremely depressed after being kicked out of the house and seperated from my kids was used, not as evidence that I love my kids, but as evidence that I am a mentally unstable individual. Apparently my admission to an aquantence that the night I left that I had contemplated commiting the one unforgivable sin was taken by the judge to think that I might do myself in in front of the kids or take them with me. Gee if I haven't killed myself by now, why would he think I would all of a sudden want to do it with the kids. Gee, theres an idea for a great family outing. How these people with room tempurature IQ's get appointed to the bench is beyond me. i didn't even get to see the judge, just my lawyer and hers met with him in chambers. So I am stuck with supervised visitation for the time being. However, it can be any adult, not someone picked by my wife or the court. I can even have weekend sleepover visitation, if I can get someone to stay at my apartment all weekend long. However, if I get a letter from my theripast, saying that I am no threat to myself or to others, the judge will reconsider. There is a hearing on that on May 9th. i have gotten the right to call the kids once a night, between 7 and 7:30 and to go see them at soccer games and such. I saw them yesterday at one and will see them again today. I thought I had the perfect chance for a weekend sleepover, but the bitch effectively killed it. Next weekend is my 7 yo's cub scout campout. But she scheduled a party with her family for saturday evening and says that everything is all arrainged. I will be talkng to my lawyer about that one on monday. The weekend after that I will probably be able to see them, since that is the 7yo's first communion, and my mom is coming into town for that. i must say that i have had some very unchristian thoughts about my wife. i try not to, but it is tough. Pray that I have the strength to turn the other cheek, even when she is striking me with an emotional baseball bat. |
