re: NIH visit jepordized by ex...please help Sep. 12th, 2008 1:38pm
Stephanie,
It's very exciting news that your children will be able to participate in this study at NIH. How do they feel about it. I'm sure at 12 and 8 they have lots of opinions on their own. Mine are 10 and 12 and have been opinionated and articulate for quite some time. If they see the benefit, are excited about going, etc.... then that is probably the best route with your ex. It will show him that it is not about YOU and the choices YOU are making but about THEM and THEIR overall health.
I'm no expert in this area. I would think he would have to have a court order or something in the court custody papers/divorce decree regarding these types of situations to prevent you from doing it. Otherwise, he's probably s.o.l., except for his being unhappy about it.
You as their mom needs to make the best decision possible for them. If it's not illegal/going against a court order and the kids really want to do it, I'd tell him to pack sand and go on your trip as planned.
