So it's been a while since I posted. BM had started making all sorts of accusations and demanding the kiddos attend therapy, which is usually the prelude to DH being served for a new custody case or extra child support.

However, I now have to share a good laugh with all of you!

BM insisted on therapy for SD13 and SS11, because "SS11 is dangerous and SD13 is defiant. There must be something wrong with them even though you aren't seeign any of these issues! It's definitely not my lack of parenting."

So, 4-ish months of therapy later and BM is skipping the sessions that she booked. (She's been asking DH to take them, even on her time. He agrees for reasons you will see below.) Let's vote on the reason for BM's absence!

A. She's swamped at work and would LOVE to come but just can't!

B. Two individual therapists have now made it clear to both DH and BM that DH's parenting is exactly what he should be doing. Both therapists have asked BM why she isn't trying DH's methods.

C. Kid's Therapist (KT) has stated explicitly to both parents, in writing, that both children are healthy, normal, happy kiddos who are acting in age-appropriate manners.

D. KT has told DH that she doesn't need to see the kids again and she is ending the therapy. KT has scheduled a session with both therapists, both parents, and both kids to discuss activity schedules for the next year since 'SS11 seems to hold a strong resentment toward BM for certain activities *cough*dance*cough* and everyone needs to get together and agree.' (KT told DH at the last session that unless SS11 changes his mind, she will be advocating for SS11 being allowed to choose two of Karate, Scouts, Hockey, and Basketball - the only things he wants to do. KT wants to take dance lessons off the table entirely.)

E. KT told DH she's concerned about BM's drastic 'rollercoaster' behavioral changes that have been evidenced over the past few months. She's also made a note in the kid's files about BM's tendency to demand therapy for the kids, then stop attending halfway through. (This happened with the first round as well.)

F: Options B-E

I have to admit, I literally laughed out loud when DH told me all of the above. I told him that BM was going to quit therapy the first time he came home and mentioned that KT told BM that the issues were not with the kids but with BM's relationship with the kids. KT requested BM attend the sessions with the kids - BM only attended the first one before coming up with excuse after excuse.

Oh SWEET VALIDATION! WE aren't the shit parents you keep calling us, BM. That's all on yooo-ouuuu! /childish_gloating
