First of all, I am going to write this quickly and then come back and clean it up tomorrow.
Today, I was asked to testify in a child custody case for two children that I simply adore. I had to testify that the father who had the child for the weekend did not arrive on time to pick up his daughter and multiple calls still didn't get any answers. When the father finally showed up, his comment was that we must have finished up early to which my response was no.
That's the gist of the thing. I felt horrible and nervous testifying today. I can't help that the situation happened to me but I cannot say that one instance of forgetting a child, or being late or being snotty makes you a bad person/parent.
I just hope that all people involved will realize that I am not a bad person because I feel like one. Bottom line though is that I love those kids who are this week feeling split in half and that is never good.
