Dear Santa

In case you can't read number one on this child's Christmas wish list, it says, "Custody papers that says I can see my dad more often".  I suppose, when the family courts and the so-called family lawyers and your own egg donor fail you, it doesn't seem that far-fetched to ask Santa to think of your best interests in their place.

How very sad.

I imagine your kids wish lists would say that they wished to live with you and Gary if they weren't too afraid of Ala to put it.

We hear the children's wish list all year round. It is sad that the simplest things, like not being lied to and being able to love whoever they wish, are things the kids are not allowed to have. As long as Ala and her enablers/parents are happy, though, the kids are supposed to just suck it up. They deserve a hell of a lot better than that.

Hear that? It's the sound of my heart breaking. My 3 stepboys have asked santa for the same thing for 10 years now. . . doesn't sound like anyone is listening. :(

Anonymous, when the very thing the children themselves are asking for is ignored and discounted, then there is something seriously and sickeningly wrong with the family court system. How can any parent feel good about preventing the kids from seeing the other parent they love?
