I am not the bitter mom. I am not the vendictive mom. It's not about me, it's all about her. I am a mom that hears my daughter cry. I hear her say "mom, how come I have to go?" I explain that right now she has to go - and with eyes full of tears, she goes. She is on every waiting list possible for councelling - I am to the point that I might take her to crisis in hopes of expediating her on the list.
I am the mom that is afraid of the legal system. I am the mom that said in the beginning "you have to go honey". I didn't want to be in contempt of a court order - now, she cries, looks at me and just goes - she sometimes sneaks a phone call to me.
I have been told that all she has to do is call her dad and say she isn't coming today... she's 12, her dad would never let her do that.
I've talked to her about maybe things this visit will be different. I understand the courts wanting to spare the child pain later in life if "hey, he is a good guy or she is a good mom" by making things as equal or as fair as possible. It is just difficult at the moment hearing her cry every time she has to go.
So what are my rights? What are her rights?
I don't want to alienate her dad, or take her away or him out of her life. I just want to be informed. I'm the tou tou mother in a boxing ring.
