So on that front, we have little hope.<BR/><BR/>If after the evaluation, the court rules that they must see their father, they will refuse, and we'll go into another round of counseling sessions trying to work through the emotional damage. While it would be worth it, if it worked, I cannot tell you how expensive that is. And who gets to pay for it? Mostly my brother. He gets to pay the counselor to try to undo the damage that the mother has caused. How fair is that?<BR/><BR/>They have yet to make the one person who needs it the most -- the mother -- go to counseling. And that's the heart of the problem, really. She is the root of the problem and needs professional help.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00452664663894833976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734327632656691227.post-67463020475129402372007-05-01T08:06:00.000-06:002007-05-01T08:06:00.000-06:00Some progress at least but I understand what you m...Some progress at least but I understand what you mean - the hardest part to overcome is definitely going to be the ill-will she had built up in her children. Sadly no court ruling can get rid of that, but hopefully time will. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck to your brother. <BR/><BR/>Cases like this make me rather ashamed of my gender.SandDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799646379550700816noreply@blogger.com
