My story …so far

[ABParticipant 762]

Not quite the same, but I can attest to how irrational women are in legalities.

During court over access to my child I tried to be as amicable and flexible as possible. She resisted. Every offer was too little. Every sacrifice was found wanting. Ultimately I lost my patience and I took the gloves off. Things escalated quickly therein, in my favour ironically. Suddenly, lo and behold she wanted to regress back to my previous amicable offers, alas that ship had sailed. I had realised that things were going to get messy regardless of how much I walked on eggshells only it would be a longer more painful process, so instead I just saddled up and got prepared to spur the stallion home. She tried to shut the stable door but the horse had already bolted, with me atop it.

I felt guilty at first that I had to hurt her to receive fair treatment, but in retrospect, I have no guilt. I was innocent. She forced the monster out in me; had she played fair from the outset then the pain would have been avoided.

In the end brother, you cannot allow her to emotionally manipulate you into submission. She will try seven days to Sunday to guilt you into yielding. Refuse. Stand your ground. Take what is yours, calm in the knowledge that the ensuing collateral damage lies solely on her shoulders.

No-one's yet explained to me exactly what's so great // About slaving fifty years away on something that you hate // About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity // Well if that's your road then take it, but it's not the road for me.
