I’m so glad Dadshouse said it first! That is what we lawyers are here for, we are supposed to take the crap so that you can get on with the business of living. What we are not supposed to do is make matters more complicated. Your loving kindness to the world around you will take care of the business of living, your sense of fairness will guide you on what to take from the attorney (and what to leave).

I love the way you write from the heart - I am in a different space and life experience but your words and feelings really touch me. Who hasn’t had to feel the fear - and do it anyway? You somehow manage to express the anxiety and fragility that I have felt in crisis - but I could never put into words. Thank you.

email your ex with the attorney’s pro bono advice regarding visitation. That will start a dialog between the two of you. You can then be nice to your ex, and just say “the attorney said this..” and blame any bad feelings on the attorney.

Ok… I second both comments above. Especially Julie. Wow.

Can I at least offer a hug?

Trust your instincts,
don’t be afraid to protect Sami,
separate that from protecting yourself,
and it will all be okay.

Sweetheart, I responded to tell you what to do, and no matter what you do, I promise it will all be OK. You are still breathing even though you don’t think you are. But don’t believe that pushing back is protection. It is war, and everyone gets hurt.
