Right...but you can identify, give examples of the alienating behavior. That is the worst type of behavior in parents. Hopefully that transmits & the judge sees the behavior for what it is ~ a long history of calculated manuevers to remove you from the child's life.

writing that verbatim in my little court notebook....thank you

you know, even though last time around I didn't get what I wanted, I really think he is...I understood his reasoning at least

The easiest way to make her implode if she hates you is just smile sweetly and - constantly smiling at her -- ask her questions in a nice Mary Poppins voice.

This really does work. It got hubby and I a police escort down the back stairs, through a fire door, and all the way to our car. It also got Mom into some trouble with the deputies and the Judge since we were right outside Chambers when she said she "ought to beat me down."

Aaaah, drama LOL.

I've been considering Implosive Devices since we last posted, and without Live Professor Silver, can only concur with OG that the sweetness/smiling thing is killer. I love to make people mad while I am "on my best behavior."

Please note that I have never laid eyes upon you, so these are my own tricks for myself. If I mention something you don't do, it's clearly not personal.

Try to avoid that flash in your eyes when you are angry: only because it lets the Opposer know that s/he got to you. Try to stay neutral, neither angry nor thrilled.

Definitely don't smirk. Bite yourself to stop if it's on its way!

Pretend you are, indeed, on the Broadway stage. It's you, in the lights! You could be a Superstar if you sing, dance, and act your behind off!

which leads to...
This is your Performance. These are not your friends. They are not here to love you -- they are here to hurt/stop/betray/judge you in some manner. You cannot be yourself amongst them. So be Mary Poppins. Or be Ohiogal. Or be Perry Mason.

I'm still thinking of more.

This is my favorite part.

But please don't be Matlock.

This is what pisses SMom off more than anything In. The. World.

"You completely disagree with CJane's parenting style? You think she should be supervised when with the children because her lifestyle choices don't promote moral or ethical development?"

(Yes, that's exactly it.)

"They're wonderful children aren't they? Bright? Polite? Well spoken? Do well in school? Treat others with respect? Funny? Get along well with others? Get along well with adults? Do community service?"

(Of course, all the answers are yes)

"Now, could you explain, for the record, who has had the primary responsibility for the children - and by that I mean has spent the most time with the children - for their entire lives?"


For your Skeletor though... you really need to be She-Ra... you need to get her to admit how much she hates you. I'm gonna work on THAT angle.

You are SO RIGHT, and I am baffled as to how to put that through on "the internets."

I *heart* the whole idea of being "She-Ra!"

Me too!

I will admit... and then deny later no matter HOW MANY times some one points out this thread... but in the barn at my mom's house... way in the back corner where the toys she cannot get rid of live... there is a She-Ra, a He-Man, a Castle Grayskull... and yes. A Skeletor doll.

Shhhhhh.

You should send them to Zephyr. She can use them to make a video re-enactment of what happened in court.

That made me laugh out loud. Now, my co-workers think I've gone round the bend.

They would also make excellent role playing figures for practicing for court...

BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!


Just put a long haired dishwater blond wig on skeletor and that's my ex's gf.....*shudder*

I do already have some questions prepared that are almost sure to get an explosive response (everyone knows how narcissists hate being proven wrong) ...don't want to post them JIC...but really I am quite looking forward to it...

now for the Mary Poppins voice...would that be with a C-ockney accent or a Yorkshire accent???


had to edit cause it bleeped out my entirely innocent word!

Mary Poppins had a posh accent...think toff or BBC.

Thank you!!! I can sing all the songs in the right accent, it's the normal speaking I have troubles with, but I have a month to practice

For a moment I thought you were confusing Mary with Eliza Doolittle.

The rain in Spain lies mainly on the plain.

Zephyr....please do put it on YouTube!!! I thought I was the wacky one as I refer to my hubby's ex as the SeaHag....since she married Popeye (she's waaaay too large to be Olive Oyl). I mean no disrespect to anyone in the Navy, but the man showed up for court in his cute lil' white sailor suit, hoping it would gain them something in court....then he got his butt reamed by the judge, his CO and their atty.

I hope things turn out the way you want them to.
