Dad and DB have always had 50/50 custody in all ways. Unfortunately, DB still felt she was the majority parent and that she was able to make all decisions without Dad’s consent or even his opinion. In some situations, that’s fine. When it comes to doctors appointments and schooling, I think it’s important that parents work together to make things happen in the best way for the kid. DB doesn’t have that same thought.
Zoe has a lot of problems. Not only does she have some sort of behavioral issues, she also has an eating problem that has been going on for years. She has been taken as a patient by an eating disorder clinic in our state because it is so bad. She doesn’t eat. She is the size of a 5-6 year old and she is currently 10. She doesn’t grow and she doesn’t seem to have any concerns about it for herself, even though doctor’s have been trying to work with her for years now. DB has also admitted that she doesn’t think Zoe has any problems… Go figure.
One of the appointments that Dad had made was for blood work at our local clinic. As usual, he let DB know when and where the appointment would be, as the appointment was during his parenting time. We happened to have a doctor’s appointment for one of our kids and while we were in the waiting room, Dad checked his app to double check when Zoe’s appointment time was, when he noticed the date of the appointment changed. Being we were there, we went back to scheduling after our appointment was over.
Dad walked up to the scheduler and gave him the information and then asked if she knew why the appointment changed. Her reply, which I witnessed with my own ears, was “Her mom called and stated that you don’t have the parental rights to make appointments, so she changed it”. How this man didn’t blow a gasket then and there is beyond me, but he kept his cool. He asked her to change it back, and she refused. She said being mom made the appointment, she was going to keep it that way. So, make that make sense. She is able to call in and change it and that’s ok, but he’s not able to change it? Then she went one step further and told Dad that he needed to bring in proof of parental rights and custody agreement to have on record, which made him feel like a complete loser that had nothing to do with his kids. Having to go in to prove to someone that he actually does have rights and 50/50 custody of his kids was heartbreaking. The slander this woman gets away with will blow your mind… this is just the icing on the cake that you’ll be served. Eventually there will be slander all throughout our community, including false CPS reports, will make you cringe and make you wonder how this woman is still getting away with this all.
