Time so flies! I am looking over my Blog because I have to pull some information from it to get a document created for D's court case on Sept 9th. I started reading several entries and I have missed writing. I noticed I had a few more followers. That was cool!
To all who have been checking...thank you for your support and I am sorry that I have taken such a lengthy hiatus. I will explain in the days to come.
To those who kept checking and finally gave up on me writing new material...surprise...never give up...haha!
I am back. I have been working on pulling together more information for D in order to bring it to him in person TODAY!!!
Yes, I am flying to Canada this afternoon and will be hugging my wonderful man at about 2100 tonight. He is meeting me at the border in order to spend one extra hour with me on the ride to Winnipeg. All his idea...I was so touched!
I AM back...I feel good and I am eager and ready to get this out.

1. Parental Alienation Syndrome is a disorder that arises primarily in the context of child-custody disputes. 2. Its primary manifestation is the child's campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. 3. It results from the combination of a programming (brainwashing) of a parent's indoctrinations and the child's own contributions to the vilification of the targeted parent.

Lacking Motivation
Well here it is Tuesday morning. I seem to be having difficulty finding motivation to start up on this topic again. I have signed in on the Blog several days but begin to write and my heart and my head are not in it so I sign out. I must be all in in order to be coming from my true self.
I know me very well and when my heart speaks to me I need to listen. I continue to grow and learn.
On my way to the airport I was captive in a car for 2 hours. I decided that this would be a great time to read Sharon's affidavit in full. I did not want to read it while I was in Canada as I knew it would alter my mood at that moment.
I had both affidavits side by side and read them both. I read them aloud to my father and his wife. They were driving me to Grand Forks, ND. The material elicited some response and dialogue between the 3 of us. I was grateful for their company.
(For those who are unfamiliar...An affidavit is a formal sworn statement of fact, signed by the author, who is called the affiant or deponent, and witnessed as to the authenticity of the affiant's signature by a taker of oaths, such as a notary public or commissioner of oaths). These are the statements that each party presents to the Courts. They are a summary of what that party wishes to have addressed in Court.
I will be posting these Affidavits on my Blog in pieces. I will not summarize them with my opinion in any way. That is my goal. YOU, the reader can discover and reach your own conclusions.
Just now, posting this Blog entry, I am feeling some flow of writing.
I will be back in full force. I need some time to work through my feelings of being back here without D. I was hit much harder than I ever anticipated the day after I arrived back in AZ.
Thank you to our friends Mari, Ronda, Linda and Teresa for reaching out to me via phone or message knowing that I was back. Your thinking of me had a greater impact than you will ever really know! I am grateful for all of you.

I Am Sorry!
Well I apologize to you all as I never did Blog while I visited my family in Canada. The time flew by and I spent as much time just being with and around D and/or family. What a great time. I have so much to write.
I have new information and past information to catch up on.
I will also be shifting the focus slightly as we continue.
I will bring you all current I promise.
I will be writing in present tense very shortly rather than in the past tense.
Thanks for all of your patience. Please give me another day or so to settle in from my trip. I may be back later today.
Make it a great day!

The Case Conference With The Judge
The only entry I care to make at this time is that D will be in Canada until at least September. That was the date set this past Tuesday the 24th by the courts. All in all we are very pleased by the outcome other than the date. We had an idea in our heads that this was going to be a 3-6 month process.
I felt rather melancholy on Tuesday but I had my trip to Canada to get ready for so it helped. Thank you to my friend Ronda who answered the phone when I needed to talk to someone after I heard the news of September. I am grateful for you and I love you guys!
I will Blog about the details once I can sit down with D and get the facts in order.
Until then on this topic...

A Very Long Weekend
D had gone to the lake with his cousins for the Victoria Day long weekend. He missed out on so much family time over the past 12 years and he deserved to catch up. We did not have contact for several days. The short texts kept me going.
I had a tough weekend to say the least. I try to remain strong and keep my chin up. I am not made of steel and there are days when I feel down for a while. I don't stay there too long. It serves no purpose.
I have a great group of like minded friends that I meet with every other Sunday. I was especially grateful for them this past weekend. They are filled with energy and positive thinking. They feed me with love and kindness. They lift my spirits just by BEING who they are. Thank you Kyle, Linda and Doug. I love you guys! D misses you all so much. He misses our Sundays too!
My sons Stephan and Kyle are there for me anytime I want to grab a cup of coffee. It's most enjoyable to just sit with them and take my mind away for a while. I am so grateful to them both. Thank you for BEING who you are. I love you both so much!

Research On B & D
I decided to spend some time over the weekend doing some investigating of my own. Trying to stay one step ahead of the court game, I Googled myself and D's names. I figured that Sharon and Atty would have most likely done the same. At least something similar if not that.
Just as I had suspected my name came up in dozens of places due to my involvement in so many projects, businesses, social sites and groups. I verified certain data that came up and made note of it all.
D's name came up in a few places only. His name was linked to a site about "Happy Bachelors" (the point was to stay single) and it had to do with the article written about him in 1997 in a National paper:
"In the case of DM, when determining the postal worker's income, the judge added an additional $300 a year he would earn if he delivered extra flyers -- thus turning an option of earning more money into an obligation.
The stories are remarkably similar across the income spectrum. In 1997, DM, aWinnipeg postal worker, had a take-home pay of $1,900 a month after quitting a supplementary part-time supermarket job during an ugly divorce that included false sex abuse allegations against him. Having been ordered to pay $2,000 in monthly child and spousal support by one judge, he was forced on to welfare until another reduced his payments to a more manageable $910."
Everytime I read this it amazes me in more ways than one. I sit here pondering this as I type. I knew about this article in the past however it was interesting to find it on such a site.
His name also came up as the manager of one of my companies. Not an issue.
We are who we say we are. We've done what we've said we've done. Whatever information is requested will be provided if possible. They can turn every rock over. There will not be any surprises.
