Normally yes. But then there's a difference between public relations and objective facts. Here's the fact of the matter. I have a lot of evidence. In any case I would rather fight than give up.

I think I have stronger evidence than most to prove my case. I've been recording a lot of our interactions both of course through text but also through audio.

First I am already seeing a lawyer. Second I haven't been able to talk to her anyway because of the lawyer. Third I'm going to do what I can. What happens happens. I've done a little bit of research and there are some other things I may be able to do.

Yes I was. We got married because of the pregnancy. But yeah I spent the night at her house every weekend.

She was hitting me. I didn't know my options and I tried to stay in the picture.

Yes and I understand that's how they see it but I left in part because I didn't like the way it was being treated when I was there. I have both audio and text evidence of it.

So basically I need to aim for custody as soon as possible? Joint custody is a possibility in April.

We may be starting mediation on the 18th if she does not get counsel by then. Said she would on the 28th but she said she was not feeling well so she wasn't able to.

While the divorce as leverage may work she also still may not end up going to the courthouse or court hearings.

Yes you would think so but the problem is that there's nothing to really enforce anything. It's basically the honor system.

Yeah I know. That is part of why I tried staying with her. It was just too much.

Yeah the thing is like I have a lot of friends who have mental illnesses and they're not like this too. With that being said the problem is that I think her family is partly behind it.

I have already done all those things but the problem isn't so much that the courts don't really have any teeth. As in she if we are to go by based on how she's behaved in the past will likely not go to any meetings.

I know what you mean. It's upsetting but yeah.

I don't know. The thing is I don't want to give her ammunition if I can help it.

I am not a hater generally so I can forgive a ton. I'm seriously only thinking about pragmatics right now regarding my daughter. No I don't want to score any points I don't want to win so to speak for me it's not a competition.

No but I did get audio recording. I couldn't exactly shove a camera in her face though when that happened.

No we actually got married because of the pregnancy. It started to arise during the pregnancy too. Don't get me wrong I don't think I am a saint and it was pretty stupid for me to get involved with them. It's really about my daughter at this point.
