Transparent Post Looking for Sympathy - 1/15/2006 4:30:42 PM

Now I am forced to attend a court-mandated co-parenting workshop instead. In my county every parent must attend this with their spouse before a divorce will be granted. I could postpone it, but that would jack up my court date for the divorce and create a big overall mess. Sigh.

I am grumpy.

Sorry to hear that; I am sure that you would have enjoyed the presentation. I just got back from a Mind Fuck presentation by John Warren....

*sticks out tongue* that's for the needle pictures *eg*

On a serious note, it is too bad that you have to miss it.

Ah, but you can't always count on the same speakers. I was forcefully reminded of that when my friend and mentor, Len Dworkin, died suddenly of a heart attack.

We do die.

Whining is unbecoming and I appreciate a shut-up attitude on the subject. I find the "too sexy to pout" comment rather distasteful.

I am not sure if your disdain is directed at the idea of divorce or the idea of court mandated workshops.

Clearly parenting takes priority over fun things. However, as I pointed out, this is mandatory for all divorcing parents in my county and has nothing to do with being forced to address specific issues. My ex and I have successfully co-parented for over a year, I make this a very high priority in my life, and I discuss any issues individually with a qualified family therapist on a regular basis. Therefore I am pretty sceptical that information given to me in a four hour county mental health workshop with thirty other parents will be have more long term value than a workshop regarding maintaining healthy relationships in a poly lifestyle.

Alas, we do what we must.

LA, how was Arisia anyway?

I agree, is his new wife required to attend as well? The three of you attending together might do a lot of good.

And no, it's not worth mucking up and prolonging just for a nifty cool convention.

Check out the post in the Off Topic Discussion area, or my LJ :) It was pretty awesome.

You're right, Sensual, you're just not sexy at all.

Of course you've got those damned sensual lips…

(Did anyone besides me notice that there's no option for oral training (or anything else oral) in the CM preferences?!!)

Such as Positive Parenting Through Divorce. You just have to make sure they accept an online course, as not all Circuits do.

1st Sorry you have to miss the workshop ...but just so you feel that perhaps all is not lost or wasted ...maybe 'you' will end up contributing something important to someone (someone who quietly really needs it) in that room,maybe without even realizing it,vis a vis something you say or share at some point.

Good point... so I better start bugging you now to get over and do a workshop or three in the UK rather than waiting


I might have to skip the needle one but anything else.... I'd be there for sure

To the OP: I compleatly understand, these things always seem to happen when it is least convenient!
