Dear attorney for my XH,

I hope that you can see through his manic fixations and control freak tendencies and guide him to choices which are actually in the best interest of our son. I know, it's a gargantuan task, but you are a professional and, unlike him, you actually know how the laws read.

While you're at it, could you please explain to him that just because his mommy pays all his bills doesn't mean that she is a party in our custody suit? Are you shaking your head in wonderment every time she attends one of his meetings with you? I sure am.

Yours,

The Person Who Has Actually Been Actively Parenting My Son His Entire Life

While we're at it...

Dear Judge of the 53rd Circuit,

Please see through my XH's BS and render a fair judgement tomorrow. I really hope I get to hear you tell him that he doesn't get to choose how I parent my son or what I do in my own home.

Thanks,

Nervous Court First-Timer
