The 27 month wait is over...

My Dad went to court yesterday for his divorce and visitation rights. His lawyer didn’t realize that the case was so complicated so he had to postpone the divorce part of it. Although, something good did come out of court yesterday. My dad did receive visitation rights and they start this weekend. He will get Jesse every other weekend. The 1st and 3rd weekend of every month.

I am so excited and it doesn’t seem real just yet.

I am also preparing myself in seeing him on Friday. I know it’s not going to be some happy fairytale reunion. I’m not even sure what or if he will remember a lot about us. He may even be upset and not want to go with dad at first. We will need to take baby steps and work on our relationship all over again. At least it is a step in the right direction.

I am unsure about what his mother and her family has told him about us. I hope they haven’t said anything bad but we can pretty much bet its been nothing good. My dad and I have talked about not talking about his mother or the whole situation in front of him. She is his mother and no matter what type of awful things she has done that is still his mother and it will never change.

I cannot wait to start our relationship again. I know its going to be hard on my dad and he will not be able to drive in every other weekend even though I know he would love to. Even if he gets to see him once a month or every other month at least it’s more than what we’ve been used to.
