The hug incident ...I am so happy for you and Sissy. The hug incident made my morning! <br />As for having your blog used against you in court, that is a low blow. Divorce gets ugly sometimes but that must have been especially painful for you. The sad fact is, privacy no longer exists. Our online activities are being constantly monitored, both by businesses trying to sell us stuff based on what we blog about or on the sites we visit or (scary but true) branches of our government like Homeland Security. <br />It's like something out of George Orwell's 1984. Where it will end I'm frightened to think. I don't like living in a panopticon, despite the government's assurances that it's in our best interest and the surveillance of private citizens is keeping us all "safe."<br />I don't know whose idea it was to use your blog enteries against you, but your soon-to-be ex had the final say in the matter and his allowing it doesn't speak well for his character.Miz Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650747741395559803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347324365882583578.post-27264279709111785512012-04-12T19:03:01.512-07:002012-04-12T19:03:01.512-07:00This brought tears to my eyes and happiness to my ...This brought tears to my eyes and happiness to my heart!

Now, I'm generally a relatively harsh judge of parenting, and I haven't always been 100% comfortable with everything you've said. However, I have always gotten the sense that you loved Sissy, as much as one can love someone who behaves the way she used to behave, and that you wanted her out of the home only because her behaviour made things miserable for everyone else when she was at home. I'm guessing that the judge got the same impression, since you've clearly still got custody of the kids. :)kisekileiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967070182847617840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347324365882583578.post-60351843676988265872012-04-10T14:11:04.309-07:002012-04-10T14:11:04.309-07:00I always wondered why your husband seemed to be su...I always wondered why your husband seemed to be such a non-factor in dealing with the kids' difficulties. It always seemed like it was you alone dealing with the health care providers, you struggling with your emotions alone. I wasn't expecting this, but in the light of how uninvolved your husband has appeared to be for a long time, it makes a lot of sense. <br /><br />This also makes a lot of sense as the reason why Sissy got so much better. I was really surprised at her incredible improvement after coming home from the RTC, especially since she'd continued to show problem behaviour there. Kids are affected by their parents. If she was observing anger, violence, and abuse from her father, it makes a lot of sense that she would have believed that was acceptable, or that aspects of her father's behaviour would have angered or stressed her. A less tense and less angry home environment sounds like a more than reasonable explanation for why she has progressed so much.<br /><br />I'm glad that you were as able to weather the attacks against you during the court process as you were, and that your position as custodial parent of your children is evidently secure enough that you can now discuss the situation here and continue blogging. <br /><br />I understand if you aren't able to publish this comment, but...yeah. This makes a lot of sense, and I'm glad to hear things are better for you in other ways than just with Sissy.kisekileiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967070182847617840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347324365882583578.post-54509006820440630702012-04-10T11:30:01.984-07:002012-04-10T11:30:01.984-07:00Wow.
