my son is 19 months old. i lived with his father in georgia for 6 months after he was born then moved to washington. he has had no contact with my son for the last year and then moved here about 2 mopnths ago. he has visitation 2 hours on tues nights and then alternating weeks of 2 hours friday and 5 hours sat. we go back to court for the next visitation schedule next friday and it sounds like overnights will be considered. am i the only one that thinks this is ridiculous? my son went from a happy, well adjusted child to a nervous clingy, scared kid after 1 week of visits with his father. everytime i leave his sight he comes running after me yelling mommy don't go. this never happened before these visits. he yells and screams each time my ex picks him up and i'm left standing in my doorway watching him drive away crying in the backseat. i cannot fathum any judge granting overnight visits when he obviously doesn't have a strong relationship with his father at this point. i would be willing to accept longer visit times but vehemently oppose overnights. he's already stopped sleeping through the night and wakes up crying for me. sometimes i think it would have been better to suffer through like with the a$$hole than put my child through this. I left him though, because of the way he was treating our son. it began to boarder on abusse and i was not willing to wait around until it crossed that line. i feel at a complete loss as to what to do to stop what seems to be inevitable. i cannot see allowing a 19 month old to spend the night anywhere other than his own room, let alone with my ex who he doesn;t recognize any better than someone off the street. any advice of experience with this age child and visitation schedules in wa would be greatly appreciated.
