Isn't that what people say when something horrible or terrifying is about to happen ?
Well, today I have to go to court to fight for full custody over my 4 year old son, because his biological dad, who is Dutch and lives in Belgium is convinced that he would make the better parent - at least, that's what he officially claims. In all reality, what he wants to do is hurt me and what better way to do so in moving my son down to Belgium/the Netherlands !
I would call him a deadbeat father, who has no job, no education and no apartment of his own. But, he keeps telling the court that if only he gets custody, the Belgic State is going to help him with all of this and he is going to receive a lot of funding; now that, I call an incentive to get a child: MONEY!
Already now, he has never paid child support and he only comes to visit our son on a regular basis when other people pay for his trips !
Aaaaaarrrgh !
I have been cleaning up my life: I changed my life style dramatically, got a good apartment, am enrolled in University, got married and we both have an income. "Why on Earth would the Danish Gov't hand the child over to that guy!?" You are asking ? Well, that's because it is Denmark and the Municipality is convinced that I am a bad mother (long, mostly private/personal story). I guess, all you need to know is that anything they have complained about before is not valid anymore !
I shall pray to God to be with me during and after the court session, so that I will be calm enough and talk rather than scream! :(
God, grant me the Serenity... Amen
