Yes. I have another meeting tomorrow 45 minutes before the court commissioner hearing. It's getting really expensive and we haven't set one foot in the courthouse yet.

The lawyer wants to set up rules so even if visitation doesn't get changed, he won't be able to hit them or drink at all when they're in his care. He won't even be able to drink if they're not with him, like when he goes bowling and they get left alone or with his girlfriend.

I stopped at school this morning to drop off something my daughter needed for a project, and asked if she'd take her medicine. She said she didn't want to so I didn't force it. I have a feeling her dad's hatred of her being on it is part of the reason. Her hair was so greasy, it made me sick. I could tell she hadn't showered since the last time she showered here last week. She said she was going to shower this morning, but he woke her up late. He has no interest in being a real parent any more, yet he won't give them to me full time because he refuses to pay child support. I just want my kids to be cared for, and not a distraction from socializing and time with his partner. Is that such a horrible thing to ask for?
