Ohhhh, so you mean you are human! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Glad to see you posting! Glad to see you taking action!
Just plain glad to see you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
No more 2X4's from me Frank. I have faith that you are taking control of the sitch and are being the best dad and person you can be.
Listen carefully to Ark's words though. She is one smart lady!

OK Frank, This is what I have been waiting for you to do. Continue to post and discuss options and your feelings. No one here has "the" answer, only opinions. When I give advice to seek counsel, I'm not telling you whether or not it's time for divorce, only you can make that decision. What I was hoping for was that you would ask questions and then come back and give us some answers after reading the responses.
We CARE about you Frank, which is the only reason that so many have continued to post and try to get you to respond.
Do what you have to do Frank, but realize that your DD is looking at you to be her safe place, the stability in her life. She is your priority now, do your best for her and you will have no regrets.

frank its great to hear for YOU that you are taking charge of what you can and fighting for your Meagan...thats all anyone wanted or could ask you to do.
Its tough it sucks and I wish we all had more than words to help you.
Do the best you can thats all you can do. And there is NOTHING wrong holding onto hope...nothing at all, just dont let it take away commonsense while this rubbish is going on.
JMO but I have to wonder if your WW wouldn't be on your doorstep if not for being Pregnant.. she isn't happy obviously & is comparing OM to you. Guess who looks coming up short. not YOU.. but now... who knows what she is thinking. God bless mate.
(I wonder what me priest would say if I prayed for all the OM's to throw out all the WW's for a late Xmas present & all the OW's to do the same for WH's for New Years.. excluding those who aren't wanted back of course......)

Frank,
If possible, could you do a recap list of the items of concern you have regarding your WS interaction with you and your children? Megan s/b a especially noted.
List all the instances you have mentioned over this post. I think the reason why law enforcement and other agencies are not jumping up and down as much as we are is that they are not seeing or reading as much as we are.
You bring out your story in pieces. What may be normal for you c/b a red flag for the police. They won't know if you don't tell them.
For that reason, I think a list will help. It will put it all in one place for all to see and let them decide if the WS and OM have crossed the line and put Megan in jeporady.
JMHO, L.

I have great admiration for what frankd has accomplished thus far...he has come a long long way ....
I do think you should decrease your contact with wifey... and make make make sure you do nothing that they can use against...
let them use normal contact and interaction with you and her against you...cause it will help prove how riduculous they are ....
praying ya thru Frankd.....
ARK
