Gabriel's progress

Desiree: Over the last couple of years you have firmly stated on multiple occasions that, based on our respective track records you are the parent that is: - more likely not to disappear with Gabriel; - more likely to facilitate the other parent's rights of access to Gabriel; - more likely to not interfere with the other parent's contact with Gabriel; and - more likely to not try to "brainwash" Gabriel against the other parent. While Gabriel was with me I: - regularly provided you updates on his progress at school; - kept you notified of upcoming events; - encouraged him to keep in contact with you; - never interfered with your contact with him; - always kept you apprised of his whereabouts and contact information; - never made ANY attempts to "brainwash" him against you; and - even provided you a DVD with all of the pictures I had of Gabriel up to that point. Gabriel has now been with you almost 7 months, and you've: - not provided me a single update regarding his education or provided me copies of any of his progress reports; - not kept me informed of any of the difficulties or challenges he's had to deal with; - not informed me of anything that has been going on in his life; - explicitly requested a court order prohibiting ALL communication between him and I; - failed to keep me aprised of your new telephone number (the one you gave me before moving is not valid); - explicitly instructed him to withhold information from me (such as, Kristopher living with you again); - repeatedly filed reports with ICE in an attempt to have me detained and, possibly, physically removed from the US so that I cannot care for Gabriel. So, have you anything at all to say in your defense? Or may I use these last 7 months as an indication, for the court, of the reliability of anything you say? Also, please forward me copies of Gabriel's progress reports. Finally, I am scheduled for an interview with a company in Phoenix next week and would like to stop by to inspect Gabriel's living conditions. Thank you, Fox

I'm not even going to justify anything you just said with a response. You have spoken to Gabriel regularly on both the home phone and my work cell. You are in communication with him via email. You know I'm in the process of moving which is never easy and as soon as I can get everything settled you will have the information. He made honor roll...but you could have asked him that at any point.

Desiree: Thank you for your response. I am glad to see that you are still in the habit of speaking your mind, regardless of how it makes you look (even to the court). Your refusal to "justify anything [I] just said with a response" is, perhaps, the best response I could have hoped for. I, and the rest of the world, know that what I said is correct. Previously, you hadn't had the chance to prove you were the better, more responsible parent (or so you said), but you've now had more than half a year and you've proven the kind of responsible, accommodating parent you would be. Although these 6 months have been challenging, and I feel bad that Gabriel has had to endure it, it has turned out for the best, in the long run - now the court doesn't have to assume what kind of parent you'd be, it can simply review the record of our respective actions over the last 7 months. Moreover, it is OUR responsibilities to keep the other parent informed, NOT Gabriel's. I have asked Gabriel about school, but kids don't like talking about school, so we talk about the things HE is interested in. Also, it's YOUR responsibility to provide me the phone number, not Gabriel's. And, the court (and every parenting book on divorce) directs the parents NOT to use the child to pass messages. I suppose, at the end of the day, I should thank you for bringing about the circumstances of the last 6 months - 8t's much better to be able to testify about what you DID than about what I BELIEVE you MIGHT do given the opportunity. Finally, you lead me to believe you moved last weekend...how long does it take you to move? Again, thank you. Just keep doing what you do. Fox
