Stupid threats

[Guest guest]

Dad sent me a letter yesterday. As a reminder, my parents contacted

a lawyer to try to get back in touch with me and my kids. Seeing

this as a threat of a lawsuit to try to assert " grandparents rights " ,

we responded (to the lawyer) that we had consulted with a

psychologist who didn't feel it was in the best interests of our

children to have contact with them at this time (in our state the

burden of proof is on them to show that it is in the kids' best

interests). So dad sends this letter yesterday that states that he

is going to send this psychologist a letter to give his side of the

story and let him know that he and nada " aren't the evil people that

he may have been led to believe " and to " offer our assistance to help

with any issues you may have. " He then adds that if I have a problem

with that, I need to contact him by December 30, otherwise the letter

goes in the mail.

I don't know about you, but this comes across as an entirely stupid

threat. Like I'm supposed to be saying, oh no! Don't send a letter

to the psychologist! I'll come down tomorrow and we'll sing

Christmas carols and swill egg nog and pretend this never happened!

This psychologist, by the way, is the therapist I've been working

with for almost two years, who has been completely awesome, who

agrees that my parents are bonkers. And don't you just love the

little dig with offering " assistance " with my " issues " ? Ho ho ho!
