Thank You St.Jude!!! Saint Jude Stories...VANITY/I GOT MY BOY!

Thank you Saint Jude! God is powerful and the Almighty! After 2 long years of hacking it out my prayers have been answered BIG TIME tonight on one issue. The custody of my son has out of nowhere been decided! I had my hearing for it on Nov.8th coming up. My sons mother tonight gave the word to my attorney and myself via phone call...she is STANDING DOWN!!!!!!!!! 50/50 Custody!! No more just when she says so. This has taken its toll on me and I have spent some pretty dark days about it.

I am no longer going to be just a weekend father but the father he needs in his life everyday. I got the alternate holiday offer and custody of whenever I want him. I should never have doubted the staying power of praying to St.Jude. Although my requests have been plenty this one has taken its presidence as of late due to the court date coming soon.

I feel like a mountain has been lifted off of me. I have a few other things yet to face that are very touchy for me to face. I am facing a replacement of my right knee ( I am only 27 ) and I am totally freaked out about it. Years of football and hockey have caught up with me. Plus big time doctor negligence. I was never supposed to be treated the way I was by the docs I was seeing. Now I am screwed.

My problem I have with the operation is the fact that I do not do well with anestisa at all. I am on a R/X to deal with dizziness from concussions and this operation is a risk on me. I worry like no other on this. I just need the strength and protection from harm on this.

I haven't joined any prayer lists for myself because I did not want to feel embarassed by all of the issues facing me in my life. For some reason so many people on FR are like family to me offline. I feel there is a line that gets crossed with personal info on here and did not want to expel it.

As I learn to trust my instincts more and more and start having more faith in people and let the level of cynicism drop I do not feel so on guard. I also am aware that it is an internet forum as well and not a priest or therapist. But I tell you what...some of you people for the most part are better therapy than any of them could be and it is free!

Some of the posts in here sometimes whether they be an flame right back at me or a joke or just a comment or image brighten my day more than you will ever know. Between working, being a single parent, and having some other issues to deal with this is one of my solace outlets I get everyday or when I can get here.

I thank you all for that. Hell even Registered's pictures make a horrible day end sometimes with a laugh like never before. So I end this vanity asking you all to add me to your prayers. I have a 4th interview with a law enforcement agency tomorrow (it will be the final one of the series) and it is for Public Relations Officer. This job would change my life in so many ways you just can not begin to understand. I enjoy what I have right now but this will change it for the better 100,000,000 times.

So if any of you on here would like to add to this thread please do. I am interested in some stories of St.Jude and your life or someone you know. I for one am a TRUE believer as of tonight. If you do not want to post...I will just say thank you. Thank you for being here without you even knowing it through my darkest hours.

Since the judge has already made this disagreeable ruling, I'm asking you how aggressive your attorney is being in reaction; whether they are telling you "there's not much we can do - he's the judge" or whether they're talking about taking aggressive steps to challenge the ruling for you.

we are taking action- filing a motion to overturn his decision, since it is factually incorrect in almost every paragraph, and ignores 90% of the evidence...and doesn't even agree with itself... If you read the first six pages you wopuld think it looks pretty bad for her, then you read the seventh and go "huh????" didn't he jkust spend six pages trashing her?

Plus, there is new evidence to present, including video tape of the twins saying how mommy taught them a new song "about the daddy who hits little girls"
(I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY FELLOW FREEPERS THINK ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WOULD TEACH A SONG LIKE THAT TO HER CHILDREN)

That is, of course, deplorable in every way. When I hear about a judge like this I really want to find some way to publicize their incredible incompetence. In my case, the custody evaluation could only be read privately in the attorney's office and all parties were forbidden to discuss the findings with anyone else, to protect everyone's privacy. It would certainly be nice if you could change the names and publish it so everyone could see what a complete donkey this judge is. People like that shouldn't be allowed to remain in such positions of authority over everyone else's lives.

It's bad enough that your soon-to-be-Ex behaves this way; it's far worse for a judge to endorse it and reward her for it.
