Tina’s husbandsupported a close relationship between a female co-worker and his wife after starting a new job. Thetwo women became very close after spending every weekend, holiday, and many vacations together as afamily. Within 4 years of the friendship, an affair started between Tina’s husband and her best friend,which continued for the next three years. As a result, both families were shattered by divorce, jointcustody of the children, and a new marriage together between Tina’s ex-husband and her best friend.Tina describes her relationship with her ex-husband as hostile and volatile a year after the divorce. Tinadescribes the communication between the two as difficult. Tina’s ex-husband is still very bitter about thedivorce/custody arrangements and continues to make threats of returning to court, asking for primarycustody of their children. Tina’s ex-husband requested primary custody of the children, but was deniedduring their court hearing for the divorce. Her ex-husband has also become very manipulative with theirson, discussing every detail of their divorce decree.He has been tracking her and the children’s whereabouts through the children’s cell phone. He moved .55 miles from Tina’s home with his new wife in an effort to “be close to the kids” and to keep tabs onwhat is going on in Tina’s home. He stops by her home unannounced on a regular basis. Tina is floodedwith emails and texts every day questioning her decisions with the children. If Tina does not answer thedoor or respond to his text messages, her ex-husband calls the police to do a “welfare check”. Oneincident he was to return the children to her home after his visitation, to only drop off their daughter,but not their son. Tina had to call the police to have him return the son to her home.Tina has recently started to take her children to counseling to help them process the divorce. Her exhusband does not agree.Tina is focusing on the following:·Lives in fear of losing custody of her children.·Feels harassed daily with texts, calls, and emails from her ex-husband.·Feels she’s being monitored (stalked) by her ex-husband driving by her home on a daily basis andtracking her whereabouts through the children’s’ cell phones.·In fear she may not ever be able to have a future relationship because of her ex-husbands actions.————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–See personal journal entryby Tina is below.Sunday, August 23, 2015It’s the night before school starts for Kevin and Kylie. They have been with their dad since Thursday; he issupposed to bring them back to my home by 6pm tonight. He’s late as expected. I’ve tried calling a fewtimes and there is no answer. He shows up at my door with Kylie about 6:30pm and says that Kevin is inthe car and doesn’t want to get out. I asked Kylie to go inside. She goes to my room and turns on the t.v. Iwalk outside to Dan’s car and open the back seat door to his Explorer to speak with Kevin. He is hiding inthe trunk area, so I think he is playing with me. I go around and open the trunk door to the Explorer andtry to get him. He climbs into the back seat, I grab is toes and begin tickling him. I still think he is playinggames with me. Then I tell him ok let’s go inside and he says “no” that he wants his dad to take him toschool tomorrow for the first day of school. I tell him to go inside the house and we will talk about it.Kevin responds saying that he wants to talk about it now before he gets out of the car. Meanwhile Dan isstanding next to me outside the care and Amy is in the front passenger seat. I tell Kevin that his dad canmeet us at the school in the morning and we can all walk into school together but that he needs to comeinside at this time. Dan starts to argue with me in front of Kevin that I never “listen” to what the kidswant, why don’t I give him 50/50 custody, starts listing all the things in my home that he wants (we aredivorced and have already gone to mediation for division of property). I tell Dan this is inappropriate tobe discussing in front of Kevin at this time. Kevin starts to repeat all the things his dad is saying, I tellKevin that this is an adult conversation that his dad and I will have at another time but he needs to comeinto the house now. I start to climb into the back of the Explorer and reach for Kevin when Dan blocksme with his arm across my neck to prevent me from climbing any further or from being able to reach forKevin. At this point I told Dan that I was going in to make a phone call. I did not want to say in front ofKevin that I was calling the police. I am an emotional mess at this time. I know that Dan has put Kevin upto this. I know he has told him to refuse to get out of the car so that he can take him to school the nextday. If he would have had a private conversation about the issue prior to this all happening we couldhave worked something out. He could meet us at the house or school in the AM for us all to walk intogether. I hate how manipulative Dan is with Kevin. I feel bad for Kylie; he isn’t the same with her. I’mglad that he isn’t but what is she thinking right now. I wonder sometimes if she feels left out by her dad,can she tell the difference in the way he treats them. He is always so obsessed with Nathan putting allkinds of things in his head and telling him all about the details of our divorce, it is so wrong.So, I come into the house and am shaking and crying by what is going on. I don’t know what to do, I callmy attorney first and he tells me to call the police. I call and stay on the line with them until they arrive. Ido not want to go back outside and have another with Dan. I am on the phone with the police when Ilook out the window and see that Dan’s car is gone. I am crying on the phone and telling the dispatcherthat he left with my son. I can’t believe he actually drove away with Kevin! Allison (my attorney) showsup along with the police and tells the police the history and about how controlling and manipulative heis. The police try and call him on his cell to speak with him but he is not answering. I give them hisaddress so that they can go by his apartment to get Kevin. He finally returns him after the police tell himto. I’m thankful the police officer speaks to Kevin and tells him to not worry about the adult issues to justfocus on school, friends and kid stuff. It’s what I tell him all the time but it’s good that it is also comingfrom someone else. After everyone leaves I don’t address the issue at all. Kevin seems fine and is notvisible upset. It’s the night before school and I don’t want my kids to think about all of this when theyshould be excited about starting a new year at school. We go through the rest of the night gettinglunches made, picking out our clothes, etc.I’m not sure what Dan was thinking by pulling this stunt tonight but I am extremely concerned by whathe is doing to our son. It always takes a couple of days for Kevin to be his self again after returning fromhis dad’s house. I usually get some defiance and attitude for a few days but then he comes around onlyto return to his dad’s again the next week. Thankful to have my kid’s home tonight and hoping that allthis can come to an end one day. I would like to just be able to get along and communicate for the sakeof the kids. Why can’t he just accept the way things are?
