SW Calls!

I spoke with my SW today about my ex and I got a comforting feeling that the court hearing will proceed. She is looking into what no legal custody means for him and I just told her that she cannot award him anything that gives him a right to decide my son's fate. For one, he can't control himself and be responsible to him and he's never shown responsibility to John. I cannot count on him to make reponsible decisions for our son. We even discussed terminating his parental rights, but that's nothing she will recommend. That would be better served in another court.

She is going to be ordering his police report. Story has it that on Thursday, he got loaded and didn't show up for work on Friday. His brother covered for him at work, citing a traffic accident. Well, he did hit someones car, and ran. FELONY only the didn't get caught. Too bad! The brother gave my ex his check Friday night and it was obvious that he had been using (according to the sister).

He was arrested sometime on Saturday morning. The brother drove around looking for his car. Apparently the police said that they would move the car out of an apartment complex to the street. But the brother couldn't find the car. What I find as odd is every time he's arrested, he's not IN the car. How is that? What the fuck is he doing OUT of the car?

I ran all of this down to the SW and I'm sure that everything I've said will be in the police report. I hammered in that I'm happy, grateful, doing well and ready for this to be over. She has 100% confidence in me and knows I will do right by my son.

I hope to be done with this case in a little over three week!

Then I can finish my book and get onto the next chapter in my life!
