Truth is...I was an emotional wreck! Landon was released from the hospital with so many specific instructions for a young mother. I was failing in school, couldn’t seem to catch up, and my focus was off…so I gave in and decided to quit. I had to refocus my goals and my son and his health was my main priority. Now the arguments was still a “go” between the parental units and whenever I thought of his non participation in this thing call “parenthood” I would call and give him the blues! One day I received a call and a letter from a lawyer requesting “child support” JUST KIDDING! Actually saying he wanted his rights granted to see Landon…. Ha! You have to be kidding me because you have had any opportunities to see you son. I informed the lawyer that I needed time to obtain legal help as well and pay the fees…but let’s fast forward...
One night Landon fell ill and it was followed with a high temperature. We rushed him to the ER, and they ran so many test on him. When the test results returned it showed that he had fluid around his lungs (My sweet baby)….. Landon wouldn’t eat or drink anything so he was also dehydrated! Lord…Why my Child! I couldn't miss work so my support system (mom and granny) was ready to take charge and we would take shifts…they would stay during the day and I would come right after work and spend a night. One Thursday evening his lawyer called to check on the update of me obtaining an attorney. I had to be honest 1. I couldn't afford it and 2. My son’s health had been the only thing on my mind at this time. He began to ask questions about if the father had been notified and I informed him on the calls and texts he received but no responses back from him nor a visit. The lawyer was so surprised (I Don’t Know Why!!!!) which he let me know that he would get back in touch later. After he did call back he proceeded to apologized for his client’s behavior and wanted to see if I was willing to work out visitations. Well my son was sick and there needed to be special instructions to care for my boy. So I suggested that the visits needed to be supervised, and I gave him weekend hours (Fridays from 6-9, Saturday and Sunday from 9-6) the lawyer made the comment of my considerate heart and actually because that was more than he was thinking. I tried but guess what....I'll tell you next time!
