Originally posted by KJCavalierI hope your daughter will be ok. You did what you thought was right and your daughter's injury was dealt with. Nothing was more important to you, so I wouldn't worry about what anyone else thinks. 🙂
So here it is in a nutshell. My youngest daughter broke her ankle in 2 places, Above and below the growth plate. So I go to do what any parent worth being called a parent would do? I took her to the emergency room to get treated.
Now what makes this a noteworthy scenario. I am divorced from her mother. Have been for several years now. So you would thin ...[text shortened]... time asking about her own daughter.
Sorry this was more to vent than anything else.
The new person on the site - well, maybe a sift through some of the other threads in the forums will give an idea of how it goes here. It's not just about chess - how boring would that be?? If the General forum isn't to their liking, they can always try one of the others 🙂
First to those that are supporting me, thanks. This isn't what this was about but thank you anyway.
To moctenretni: I mean this directly to you. Had you ever taken the time to see what and where I normally post, you would know that you are extremely way out of line. Of course a noobe like you wouldn't begin to fathom where I come from or what I do or go through. I don't ask for sympathy when I post in the general forums, I don't look for recs (recommendations just to help you out there) I don't look for anything. I will post freely and often but rarely about my personal life. I have made many friends since joining (BTW its been 3 years now for me, I see you made it 1 day) and almost all will tell you I do nothing to bring a Jerry Springer atmosphere!!!!
My post was to vent out some frustrations in an already rough situation. and although I see I really didn't have to post a reply to your wonderful witticisms, I can see I needed to.
If you were looking to make a complete a$$ out of yourself congrats you succeeded. Hope you can live with it.
This will be my only response to you so please don't think for another second I am going to waste my time worrying about anything you have to say in response to this.
Again to those who have given support, explanation, etc. thank you again. I know that we are RHP do care, no matter what idiot comes about.
EDIT: 3 years and I just added my first person to my ignore list. Amazing!
I truly sympathize. As far as I'm concerned, you are divorced and that divorce certificate means you never again have to deal with your ex on any level whatsoever. That's what a divorce is. You're rid of this bitch who cares so little about her daughter that all she thinks about is criticizing you when your daughter is in dire need of medical attention.
At least you get to see youir daughter. My daughter is now 24 and I haven't seen her in more than 20 years. Court orders for access to children are meaningless: They are completely, totally, absolutely, and utterly unenforcable and I have proven it again and again in court. Any lawyer who tells you otherwise does not know the law.
My advice is don't talk to your ex at all under any conceivable circumstances. If you are compelled to talk to her, then you are not divorced. But you are divorced, and therefore you don't have to do so, and you shouldn't.

KJC is clearly frustrated, but has control over it.
Moctenretni was right with the first two lines of his post (but he spoilt it with the third bit) for KJC.
Conversely, you have no control, no access, and no confidence in the processes that should have corrected those things...and you are clearly p*ssed off as a result...so you deserve more sympathy.
What do you understand your daughter's knowledge "about her Daddy" to be?
If she's 24, she's at liberty to decide for herself if she wants contact with you.

...she'll criticize you even more. apologize for that too. the criticisms don't mean anything. just take away her steam. she'll even get mad and demand to know why you are apologizing and then apologize for apologizing...
