How do I convince the father of my wife's son to be on our side in custody battle?
My wife has a 13 y/o son who has been raised primarily by his grandmother since he was four. He has some serious emotional and psychological problems due to her influence and treatment. She is controlling and totally disturbed. My wife suffers terribly because she now realizes how much her upbringing has damaged her self esteem and identity. She is working through it, but has been battling with her mother for two and a half years to get her son back. By the way, the grandmother is a psychotherapist and has worked as a social worker. She is also a total psycho who gets validation from abusing her daughter, and is using her grandson for it. The boys father lives in another state. He's been involved with his son through visitation maybe twice a year since this battle started. He has been in communication with the grandmother, he has a low IQ, and is manipulated by her. He doesn't understand his son's problems and doesn't trust us. How can we convince him to be on our side?
Answer:
Unless you are a trained professional in psychology and/or psychiatry, your claims will fall on deaf ears in a court of law.
For one thing, no court is going to value your psychological judgments of your mother-in-law, who is a licensed psychotherapist.
And, unless it has been professionally determined, the contention that the father is retarded will carry no weight.
I suggest that you take a hard look at your position and the accusations that you are making. They don't seem defensible.
Please, for the sake of the child, attempt to reevaluate the situation. Lashing out at everyone will not help the situation. Instead, gather concrete and verifiable facts which support your position and present them cogently in a formal court proceeding.
Allow the judge to rule on the case based on the evidence, and then live with it. Your current tact has a very low probability of being successful.
