It wasn't as big of a deal as Melanie has made it, but it gave her ammunition. Melanie is one of those mother's who has put her daughter's happiness second to her ex-husband's unhappiness. Kid's feelings are often overlooked or discarded in families.

I hope that Melanie realizes the importance of Nicole having daddy-time before the girl does something desperate. Applause for Dasia and Adele for being advocates for Nicole.

The son has figured out if he gets in trouble at school he gets to see both his parents together. He has already been suspended 3 or 4 times this school year. When he gets suspended, sometimes he gets to spend the whole day with dad. It's really sad because the teachers say he is academically gifted.<br /><br />You are right about Melanie creating her own reality to justify her actions.

And she doubled her efforts when we had our first child together...smh. Like everyone else, I hope Rod and Nicole are reunited. However, I know it's going to take Rod putting up a fight. Melanie is creating her own reality to justify her actions. She's lying to herself and looking away to avoid the truth so she can believe what she's doing is alright.Jewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210320389634837355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-90542719251864658092016-11-12T02:40:52.735-05:002016-11-12T02:40:52.735-05:00Melanie is a piece of work.

The meeting was about Nicole ...Just as I suspected! The meeting was about Nicole not being able to see her Dad because of Melanie! Hope Dasia can talk some sense into her. She (Melanie) is such a jealous, bitter woman that she doesn't even realize how much she is hurting her daughter. If she is not careful, when Nicole is old enough to make her own choice, she is likely to move in with her father and I think she would be better off living with him too! If Melanie doesn't get with the program and Rod challenged her for custody, I think a judge would independently talk to Nicole and find out that Melanie is not acting in the best interest of her daughter and either force her to let Nicole spend time with Rod or even maybe give him primary custody. It will surely be interesting to see how this all plays out.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084954419650988542noreply@blogger.com
