For the most part last year was WONDERFUL. My daughter Chassisis was in a wonderful school with wonderful teachers. I may of had to work a couple of jobs to try and pay for it but it was more than worth it to keep her in a place that made her so happy. In October leaving Wyoming was a hard decision for me but not for my daughter. I'll never forget the night she told me she wanted to go home. Meaning our hometown Gunnison, Colorado. I wasn't sure where her mother was like most nights. Wasn't sure if there would be problems as far as the police went if I did leave. But, with nothing but a broken marriage and unhappy memories I couldn't help but agree with my child that HOME is where we should be. My daughter had already packed a bag when I told her that I agreed we should go home. Her little feet running to the room to grab a bag she had packed without my knowledge. She walked out bag in tote ready to go. I thought we would wait till morning but obviously she had other plans. So I packed and got a few things ready and we left for home. It took her mother almost a whole day before she knew we had left. My daughter is a smart girl and it hurt her that her mommy was never home and had made many promises to take her places and do things with her and then NEVER show up. I think that night Chass had, had enough. I can't say I blame her. Although her mother was sad and angry I took her she didn't DO anything about it. So I put Chass in a wonderful private school. Spent night's eating dinners and remodeling our kitchen. Going on drives and taking Chass to extra curricular activities through her school. Dances, lunches etc. No one knows if they are a good parent they can only try their best. But my daughter was happy and anyone who came into contact with her could tell.
Letting her go with her mother for summer vacation was hard. There was nothing STATING I had to let her go and looking back I should of filed papers saying that I had full custody although we had decided to try and be civil about things and do it outside of the court system. She had me fooled she said that doing anything through the courts would complicate things. Little did I know she was just making a plan herself to snatch my daughter completely out of my life.
I don't believe in karma really but I will say this. Wednesday the 19th my ex wife her new husband and my daughter were in a terrible car accident. While they were on their way to go get the papers signed for them to get custody of my daughter. While my daughter was not hurt or injured they both were hospitalized. I wanted to go get Chassie right then and there but felt that it would be disrespectful during such a traumatic and horrible time. I was trying to do the right thing and wait till it was time for her to come home. I was even willing to go and get her because I figured neither would be in a good place to drive her home. I realize now that being the nice guy cost me huge, because I had given them just the right amount of time to file the papers that now keep me from seeing my daughter.
The moment I saw THE PAPERS Friday my heart sank. Although the hopelessness feeling I have didn't come until later because my first action when I saw them was figure this out. See what you can do to get Chass back. See before Chass had left we had signed and notarized an agreement. Saying that she would have Chass back the 22nd of August before seven o'clock. So I contacted the sheriffs department I'm Wyoming they seemed more than happy to help me based on the notarized agreement that had been signed but said before we left to let them look into it more. They went and spoke to my ex who showed them the papers that she had filed. That call was heart breaking. First the officer said that they have to go by the recently filed papers rather than the ones that were already set in motion and that if we went to go and try and get my daughter that we could get arrested and in trouble for kidnapping. NOW the heart break has set in. How did such a happy and exciting day turn out to be so awful?
My daughter was supposed to be home. We were going to go buy school supplies we were gonna have a nice dinner. How did things go so terribly wrong and why why am I being threatened to be arrested if I go and get my daughter? None of this made sense and honestly it still doesn't. This weekend has been depressing and while I will not stop fighting to see her I can't help but feel like the entire world is on my shoulders. I can't seem to get a break......... I got to talk to Chass briefly and although it was hard to hide my hurt it was nice to hear her happy little voice tell me about the accident and tell me what a big brave girl she was. I am proud of her and I love her. Missing her ......
