Went to court and found out stbx had our oldest evaluated by two physchologist and their determination is the children need to stay in one parents home. Stbx defense on this was the children come back angry upset hitting and many more false statements. My son has excelled in school and continue to improve with the check plus denotes. For my son goes everyday to school and I get reports daily from teacher he is in good spirits and continues to improve and has not been adversley affected by this horrible divorce. For I have not even been interviewed by this Doctor for the Judge was told by my attorney for we have shared parenting and it had not been discussed with me prior to an evaluation. I do not mind evaluations at all but lets be fair I feel for this was an impartial diagnose from Doctor. I am sure my sons are affected for they only want mom and Dad back together. I need reasoning because if my sons are doing exceptional in school would this not be a reflection on how they are being treated at home as to structure. My point I need to vent for it is a continued battle for all I want to be with my sons just as much as stbx.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Is your son receiving weekly services by the psycholigist or just had an evaluation?
Still waters run deep. Divorce is a very difficult concept for young minds to wrap around. Think of the difficulties we even has as adults trying to understand it all! As an elementary school teacher i have seen much too much.
In many cases, children continue to excell (thank God!) in their schoolwork and activities. Children place pressure on themselves in regards to the confusion in their home life. This leaves them with a feeling that they NEED to be good in every way as they often blame themselves for the break up of the family structure. Because their school work has NOT suffered does NOT mean that they are not exhibiting other feelings or behaviors of anger. Consistency is so important for children. They thrive on routine and structure and feel empowered when they know what to expect in terms of routines and consequences for behavior.
Im not exactly sure how your state school system deals with this situation as it varies. I would suggest staying in contact if possible with the school psychologist if your son is receiving weekly services.
As difficult as it may be stay in touch with your children and their mother and make your care and concern known. best of luck...
