FD admires NP.
When I look at FD's face, as he watches NP, he is so pleased with the work NP is doing.
Surely, FD realizes this team, is a 'waste time' as they plod, from one problem to the next, drowning further at each step.
Now, what will occur will be most interesting.
MOO.
I so agree with you on this point and I am absolutely baffled as to why Fd might feel this way about Atty. P.
Wonder though if Fd will have these same feelings when he is in an orange jumpsuit, in a 3'x3' cell for life and his parental rights and access to his children are terminated?
IMO his belief in Atty. P. is the best way to insure all of these items come to pass sooner rather than later and its unfortunate that he is unable or unwilling to see it IMO. Oh well, that is totally on him I guess!
From the standpoint of the US and CT justice system, IMO its in the system's best interest to make sure that Fd gets the best defense available to him.
I do think Fd is a problematic client on many levels and given no alibi or alternative theory is proving to be a challenge for Pattisville.
It seems Pattisville has been working on overdrive to find some narrative or any narrative that might work for Fd and today it seemed that they unveiled the latest version 10.0! We saw Fd as the champion of Fathers rights and the 1st Amendment!
Yawn and Nap time IMO.
Just another tone deaf try by Pattisville to find something for Fd to grasp onto and absolutely lacking any emotional intelligence to boot IMO. It might perhaps work with folks that don't know the Fd story in Family Court and how he voluntarily gave up access to his children when they no doubt could have used a father or any father. But this new rebranded Fd as a wronged father in CT is IMO simply WRONG on so many levels!
Father's rights as a general topic is deserving IMO of greater consideration by the courts in CT. The reality is that there are many wonderful, caring and loving fathers that deserve greater access to their children and custody. IMO Fd is NOT, however, one of the fathers that belongs in this group of deserving individuals.
The issue, however, is that Fd has proven in the opinion of the Family Court system and all that this entails that he is NOT ONE OF THESE FATHERS IMO. To attempt to 'rebrand' Fd as a wronged father is simply the bridge too far IMO. Judge Heller offered Fd every opportunity to reconnect with his children and offered a clear path to get to a better place in his relationship with them. Judge Heller saw value in children having a relationship with a father figure in their lives and so IMO went way beyond a place that I believed appropriate to accommodate Fd given his absolutely miserable documented track record as a husband, human being and father. But Judge Heller still tried to work to rehabilitate Fd.
Did Fd make any attempt to work with Judge Heller?
Nope, IMO he did not. The thing that makes the Fd choice to NOT work with Judge Heller absolutely unconscionable was that at the time Fd AS A PARENT knew that he had at least one child with significant psychological distress due to the ongoing divorce drama. What parent (using this term loosely IMO) would chose to inflict additional psychological pain on a child that is already in a very bad spot and was 'at risk'? Fd did this and IMO its why it is critically important that neither he nor any of the Greek Family have access to the children.
Fd and MT (its impt to see that this was a joint relationship decision IMO) chose instead to have a toddler tantrum meltdown as they 'respectfully disagreed' with Judge Heller on her conditions and access to MT and her daughter. Fd did not see his children for a long time due to this choice. When you look at this period with no access to his children to me it tells anyone looking who Fd is as a parent and a human being and IMO the decision was immature and absolutely lacking any emotional intelligence AND had zero to do with the well being of the children. In short, Fd and MT just cared about themselves and the fact that they believed their view to be correct and Judge Heller's view to be incorrect. Because of a difference of opinion, FD didn't see his children for roughly 10 months.
What parent when given the ability to see their children if even under access conditions that they don't agree with WOULD EVER instead decide to simply walk away? To almost any parent I think this would be an unfathomable choice to make, particularly when very young children are involved too. I cannot even unpack this decision by Fd in my brain as what parent voluntarily decides to NOT see their children and over a petty disagreement with a Judge?
Fd did precisely this and NOW we are believe that things are different and he 'loves his children and misses them every day'?
Yep, right.
IMO Fd has NOT been embraced by the active Fathers Rights groups in CT because he has been about as poor an example of a father and a human being as has been publicly seen in quite a long time IMO.
I can't even think about Fd as the champion of the 1st amendment as my head simply wants to explode due to the lunacy of this idea. The idea that Atty. P. thinks that his retreaded idea of 1st amendment champion Fd might fly makes as little sense IMO as Fd as a worthy father deserving of immediate access to his children! Dream on!
It hard to justify spending much time on the Fd extended "Greek Family" as for lack of a better phrase they simply seem 'irrelevant' as they weren't a force in the 5 childrens lives, didn't see the children frequently and were physically distant and separated by great age too. Fd seems to have a vested interest for whatever reason of posturing Greece and his Greek Family as a positive in the lives of his children and it just doesn't seem probable.
IMO it seems like a Fd/Atty P. pipe dream as do the croco tears from 'Sister Rena' about being turned away from the Dulos children yet again by GF. Its hard to say but based on MSM it appears that the last time 'Sister Rena' might have seen the children might have been 2016. Prior to this she perhaps saw them for a couple of weeks over the summers? IDK. Just seems odd that with this visitation schedule that she had any relationship with the children of significant and its hard to understand the Drama surrounding her ongoing attempts to see the children which have no doubt proven upsetting to GF for obvious reasons and possibly psychologically damaging to the children as well. Why is there no sensitivity from Fd or the Greek Family as to what GF is dealing with in terms of the emotional fragility of 5 children WHO HAVE NO MOTHER?
My guess is that Pattisville will continue to push this narrative of Fd as a father demanding of his rights. Its ok. IMO with rights come obligations and responsibilities. IMO its these parental obligations and responsibilities and ultimately personal accountability where Fd doesn't measure up on any level. Fd walked away from his children both emotionally when they needed him as he chose MT and her daughter and financially as he makes the ludicrous argument that the Court didn't require him to financially support his children. Would Fd have behaved differently if JFd couldn't have afforded to support the family and children? My guess is not.
Fd is a documented dead beat dad on virtually any measure out there and to to see him spouting forth today about his rights as a father when he has never been a father was simply offensive to all those fathers that deserve access to their children and truly have been wronged by the CT Court system. Fd is NOT one of these fathers IMO.
MOO
