Taped

Sometimes I use this blog to vent.  Tonight is one of those nights.  I picked my daughter up from her counseling appointment and as we were driving home, she said to me:"Mom- Do you know another reason why I don't like going to Jason's (her uncle) and Dad's house?""Why, honey?" ....with that feeling back in the pit of my stomach again..."Dad and Jason have the photo from your wedding in a frame on the fireplace and they covered you up with blue tape", she said. "Dad isn't covered in blue tape-- only you".*** First of all-- what do you say to that?  Honestly?  I feel like saying, "I'm sorry...your dad is a selfish, disturbed person and so is his entire family for allowing that to happen around two little girls".Deep breath.  Composure.  Wisdom.   God...can you hear this?  Can you tell me what to do?  What to say?  Another deep breath."Wow....that doesn't sound very nice at all"....still trying to figure out what the best thing to say would be.  What in the hell do you say to something like that?  Who does something like that?!She then went on to say, "I told  (counselor) but I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to hurt your feelings.  It isn't up on the fireplace right now because I think Noni made them take it down when she came for Christmas."Me: "Sweetheart, I don't want you to feel like you need to protect my feelings...that's not your job.  If something is bothering you, please talk to me or (counselor)-- anytime".###He is hurting the girls- so badly.  He is so unbelievably selfish that he doesn't care.The therapist will report this to the attorney who represents my daughters.  He will in turn report it to the Commissioner who oversees our case.I hate that my daughters have to be subjected to this evil man.###One Mom's Battle: Our mission at One Mom’s Battle is to increase awareness of Cluster B personality disorders (Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder) and their impact upon shared parenting and the Family Court System which includes Judges, CPS workers, Guardian ad Litems (GAL), Parenting Coordinators (PC), Custody Evaluators, therapists and attorneys. Education on Cluster B disorders will allow these professionals to truly act in the best interest of the children.History of One Mom's Battle: In 2009, One Mom’s Battle began with one mother, (Tina Swithin), navigating the choppy waters of a high-conflict divorce in the Family Court System. Since then, it has turned into a grassroots movement reaching the far corners of the Earth. Tina's battle spanned from 2009 - 2014 during which time she acted as her own attorney. Ultimately, Tina was successful in protecting her daughters and her family has enjoyed complete peace since October 2014 when a Family Court commissioner called her ex-husband a "sociopath" and revoked his parenting time in a final custody order.Tina Swithin: Divorcing a narcissist? Tina Swithin's books are available online at Amazon (print, Kindle or audio format). Each year, Tina offers life-changing weekends of camaraderie and healing at the Lemonade Power Retreat.  Tina also offers one-on-one coaching services and a private, secure forum called, The Lemonade Club, for those enduring high-conflict custody battles. [wp_ad_camp_1]
