I think she meant both of YOU go though counseling for the kid. While sending the kid to counseling wont hurt, I think she has a good point about the parents attending as well.In the works. We're trying to hash out who he's going to go to.

Rape is a very serious offense.If there was a woman running around saying you had raped her yet she refuses to press charges, what would you do?
Smeg lives in a half-fantasy world filled with Gestapo agents, mad Arabs, border-busting demons and assorted other evils. A homicidal ex-wife would be right at home with them.Errr wait a second...smeg's ex tried to KILL him? Holy crap, is that true? :shocked:
What makes you think my hatred of her is my driving motive? She's mentally unstable. It's something meds can help with but she refuses to take them. That's willfully keeping herself a detriment to his safety and well being. She also is living in a house that is filthy, the dogs urinate on the couch he sleeps on, he has nightmares when he has to sleep near his pervert uncle, nobody ever plays with him, he has no interaction with anybody his age except at school, etc. There is no routine, they feed him junk food, his uncle likes to kick him hard enough to hurt, etc. Who wants to hear of a 5 year old kid dealing with that?Well, how about instead of being a petty, hurt couple, you both sit down and think of his needs. Who he goes with? I can't imagine the thought of not having my daughter around all the time. I also can't imagine being a petty, vinctiful person that I would allow my feelings for the ex to get in the way of my child's well being.
He doesn't want you dead. That puts a damper on wanting to do anything with her.The ex and I are planning on taking the kids to a few things this holiday season. We are still a "family". We will be one forever.
Or until she lands in the looney bin or has a stroke or heart attack. At 5'-7" and about 380 lbs (she porked out since she left) and always highly stressed, it's only a matter of time before something pops.Both of you need to think of that. You both will be tied for the rest of your lives together, if you like it or not.
How true that is. You can't reason with somebody that refuses to. If there was a chance at us working things out this would already be done and over with. When she filed for divorce she claimed irreconcilable differences. I countered with infidelity. That pissed her off because I called her on her bull****. She rarely gets told no and having this one thrown in her face set her off.toader said:Unfortunately, Zodi, it's not that easy. Sure, you can perhaps convince Smeg here of the things you are saying. But there's still a spouse to deal with. A spouse who is accusing him of rape and trying to have him killed. No matter how logical and sane Smeg is to the situation, I doubt it will have any impact on the mother if she continues acting the way she is.
Heh, paranoia has it's place. It's kept me alive so far. Kept my old man and grandpa alive too. Call it family tradition, having people pissed at us.MV said:Smeg lives in a half-fantasy world filled with Gestapo agents, mad Arabs, border-busting demons and assorted other evils.

I'd call it acquired trait rather than something in your genes.Heh, paranoia has it's place. It's kept me alive so far. Kept my old man and grandpa alive too. Call it family tradition, having people pissed at us.
No one is perfect.Smeg, before casting stones on your ex, you need to step back and take a hard look at yourself.
I never said anyone had to be. He has flaws just like she does.No one is perfect.
Jesus she tried to take you out once? You think there will be more attempts? Ok I mean that's just sick...FFF, she didn't make the effort. I have had one attempt to take me out already as well as a two month period where I was getting accosted at an unbelievable rate. Once every two days was the average. Even in the ****tiest places of the LA ghetto it's not that often. It also kept happening close to my usual haunts. There's a reason why I posted those videos a few weeks ago. One never knows.
Right, I guess I was getting more at the point that just because he is not perfect does not excuse her from accusing him of rape or trying to have him killed.I never said anyone had to be. He has flaws just like she does.
I've already talked to the cops. They aren't going to do a damned thing. Figures, they're useless for any real police work. They're good at writing tickets and being trigger happy but that's about it. You have to remember that cops are there to generate revenue for the city and to go after the big crimes. Little things like this aren't either of them. I had one of the cops go over there and talk to him about it but that's all they're willing to do.If the living situation is that bad over there, then call child protective services on her. Have other people call child protective services on her. If the uncle is kicking him, then call the police on him. At the very least, document it with his pediatrician.
