Another week, another disappointment...
Keara's Daddy is really making me stress out too much! Today I dropped her off at the babysitter's house, which is how we are exchanging Keara until we go to mediation on July 24th.( I drop her off at 7:30 am then I leave by 7:45 am, he is parked down the street waiting for me to leave, then he comes in and picks her up. Same thing commences in the afternoon, only I don't care if he doesn't want to see me, if he is there, I go in anyway.) Well, so, today and tomorrow he had said that he wasn't going to take Keara because his relatives are flying in from Ireland and he wants to spend the time with them without Keara...(he does this alot). Well, I guess his plans changed and he decided to pick keara up today anyway without telling me, instead he had his mom call me and tell me that they picked Keara up and that they wanted to know if it was ok to keep her a little longer tonight... Despite the fact that I am frustrated with them, I said yes. I then asked her if they were going to take Keara tomorrow too, or is she staying with the sitter. To which she replied that they "have plans with the relatives that they can't drag a baby to"( that fueled my fire) therefore she was going to pay for the babysitter tomorrow. I love the fact that she is paying for it, really saves me some money, but It's pretty pathetic that Keara's Dad can't tell me all of this himself, and two, that he needs his mom to pay the extra money. I would be so embarassed to have to have my parents relay messages for me, I'd rather face the person myself. And what is all of this about? He isn't getting his way (overnight visitation) so he is going to try to make it as difficult as he possibly can until he gets what he wants. On a happy note, Keara is crawlling now! And this is a picture of her playing Air Guitar!

First of all, what a cutie!
Secondly, make sure you are writing and dating all the interactions (that are bad) between you and the daddy.
At least it would be more like a journal to give the judge/lawyers instead of "he did this, he did that" -- documentation is always best!

I'm sorry you're in this situation, Bethanne!
