Josh's judgment has obviously been impaired. He doesn't want his kids with family because HE doesn't like them.
It's the same mentality so many have during a divorce. They aren't impartial, it's very common.
The problem here is, that it very likely already has and could go much farther than just that.
That makes him unstable, potentially dangerous and and unfit to make decisions for those kids.
The kids are living with Grandpa right now.
Yet Josh said IN court he wants that restraining order put back in place for Grandpa as soon as HE gets HIS boys back.
"You are going to
live with Grandpa... and then
I am going to rip him away all over again.
Your feelings do not matter to me, because I don't like Grandpa so you cannot like him either."
That tells me all I need to know. :twocents:
For whatever it's worth, I kind of agree with this. The pathology of this family is that they are woman-haters, and capable of anything in that regard. I wouldn't put anything past them, but Little Joshy Boy just does not strike me as the kind to kill his kids. That's not to say I wouldn't take precautions...I just don't see it, though.
I do not think that Josh would kill his kids and run to Canada.
The only way I think Josh would kill his kids is if he was killing himself as well.
I could be wrong... and Josh might be completely incapable of hurting his sons.
I guess we could give the kids back to him and see whether I'm right or not....
Somehow though... I think making sure he doesn't have the opportunity would be better. :twocents:
As I've said... I drive two hours one way with a few minutes notice, to take my kids to see EX in-laws. They come first.
I have REAL in-law issues. Previous abuse issues, threats, disregarding appropriate medical care that could kill my children issues.
REAL reasons to not want in-laws caring for my kids (they never have and never will.)
Even *I* would prefer my kids be with my in-laws rather than complete strangers as long as those issues were being watched.
The religion and "they don't like me" issues drive me nuts but would not factor in once a situation was that extreme.
My in-laws would not fight for my kids anyway unless people heard about it and it looked back, so it would be a non issue.
Josh should be grateful that HIS kids have Grandparents who give a d@mn. Sure wish MINE did. :twocents:
