Well, as per my last blog we sent SD6 with her jobless swine of a BM and the man she met over the Internet off to the United States, as per court orders. Since ranting about our useless justice system regarding family matters (in particular, it's archaic views regarding fathers raising their children) won't get me anywhere, I won't begin.

It was devastating to send that poor kid off with her mother, but we managed to say goodbye without any big scenes. I started crying in the car as we drove away because it occurred to me that if BM decides to ignore the custody agreement now and not send SD6 back in early July like she is supposed to, chances are we won't see her again for at least another year. Lord only knows how much damage BM and her Internet husband will be able to do to that poor kid in the 5 weeks they already have, let alone the year or more it will take us to get her back if we have to start fighting. Chances are we won't even know her by then. Usually sending her back for three weeks transforms her into a no-manners, whiney cranky bed-wetter. It usually takes a solid week or more to get her to use her manners and stop screaming in the middle of the night when we get her back.

DH is dealing with all of this by shutting down, which is typical and frustrating. I want him to talk to me and confirm things with bio-mom, but DH has a tendency to procrastinate dealing with unpleasantness until he absolutely has to.

The frustration of the moment is that I am trying to get him to confirm with his fat sow of an ex the exact dates that we will have SD6 this summer (assuming the cow-pig does decide to actually send her back here at all), and he is not getting on it. I secretly want to know how the stupid blubber-whale is going to try to slip out of the court-ordered stipulation that she has to fly SD6 back and fourth at her own expense, because I definitely know it is going to happen. I am curious what the excuse will be and how DH will react. I have this horrible feeling that our vacation pays are going to wind up covering airline expenses... Good-bye two week vacation I had planned. I fully intend to lay into DH and make his life a whole new level of difficult if he doesn't contact a lawyer when the bubbling blob of rot tries to pull a fast one.
