you might note that I said sole custody (meaning legal authority) and not anything else. It is obvious that these parents are not going to get along, and if he has a history of abandoning his children from other relationships, that should be considered in relation to this case. Not to say he has no right to have liberal access.
I agree that this poster is furious and letting her anger and resentment cloud her judgement. It is not an ideal situation for her children. But, she is the parent that this child knows, she did not walk away from him, the father did.
I personally think that shared joint custody IS the best thing for children, but not all situations are ideal. I think in this case these parents are not going to agree, they are both very angry and to impose a joint custody situation here will make things worst for the child. But again, that is my opinion. Feel free to disagree.
Mom, I hope you are not projecting your opinions on your children. Save your anger and resentment for therapy
