Just a vent post…
Question:
I don’t know how old your son is.But my son is 10. His mother didn’t want him to be with me overnight because going to school with her (she teaches at his school) is supposedly too much of a transition for him. She citted that he looked lost and alone at school. and that it was because of the hard transition. When I suggested that MAYBE it was because his parents, who said they loved each other, she dismissed it. There is so much denial as to what really happens to kids. DIVORCE has become so "matter-of-fact". We sometimes refuse to see the horrific things we put on kids. Roy

Jaccy, this is something we all as parents go through during a divorce. Is your little one into any kind of counseling?
Daisy, he’s two.
Response:
and the worst being… it doesn’t even have to be this way.
yes it does. In the long run it’s for the best.
Response:
True enough but divorce is devastating enough, most adults need time and help themselves getting to that point.
Daisy, His father is with his parents by choice to stay out of jail before trial. According to Jaccy, he will probably get jail time. This may be a blessing that the child is going through this at 2 instead of later when Bill’s in jail permanently or dead when someone stops him from his criminal activities.
Response:
we need more info…
look in the archives of this group at alt.support.marriage. you’ll have more info than you need.
Response:
And it may benefit the both of you if you yourself sought out some kind of counseling to better prepare yourself on how to deal with this kind of situation.
this is great advice. It could help Jaccy deal with the bigger issues.
Response:
I’m not sure what kind of counselling could benefit a 2 year old…
Jaccy, Do you work? Do you have insurance? Would it hurt to try?
Response:
Give him some candy and stuff….. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Ok one thing that is bothering me so much through all this is the fact that my little boy is suffering so much, he was always such a happy-go-lucky child and so in love with his mom & dad (and of course he still is) but… more and more I am seeing smiles turn into tears, and it breaks my heart and rips me in 2. He is much more clingy now also and is afraid to let me out of his sight for even a minute… I wish I knew how to make him all better. — — *
