The Battle of Good and Evil
For those of you that have been waiting for the next installment of the on going saga of “The Battle of Good and Evil,” here it is. It has happened again but to more of an extreme. Both girls called me last night asking to move in with me. Ugh!!!!
Here is the scene, I called them at my usual time to see how they were doing, but all that I heard in the background was their mother screaming at the top of her lungs. Nothing was really said at this time other then the usual, “How was your day?” “How are you?” etc. So, I just figured it was just their mom venting or something because I could not make out what was being said.
Nine o’clock comes and I get my usual good night phone call. Makenzie says in her stern, but sad voice, “See dad, this is why I want to live with you.” Again, I could hear mom, David, and Brittany screaming at each other. I could also hear the two year old crying because I am sure she is scared or who knows. Anyway, when Brittany gets on the phone, she is like, “Dad, can I come live with you?” Now with Brittany, I know when she asks, she is in trouble for something, but still, she was crying and carrying on. So, I know it wasn’t a good scene.
Anyway, tonight, I am going to speak with their mother and enlighten her on what Kenzie has been asking me and make an offer. Obviously, she is having trouble with them together as well as when we have them. I know most courts would not want to split up siblings, but I know this is a good thing. I am going to give her the offer of allowing Makenzie to live with us for the rest of the summer and see how it goes. I will let her know that life at our house is going to be real, that she will have a bed time, chores, and that it isn’t going to be a fun park.
See, I know my ex and she will not want to lose the child support. Who would, when you are getting 1600 a month? She recently quit her job, so I am guessing she thinks she can because of my income going to her. They just put on a huge addition, bought a new truck and are putting in a pool, so I know that will be a sore subject so I won’t touch it.
I truly want to see if Kenz will be happy with us and then maybe make more of a move with the law. Because if this does work, then we are going to have to get her enrolled in school, the school uniforms and things for our house. I am being optimistic here, I know, but I don’t want to be caught with my pants down.
The thing of it is this, Brittany, as much as I love her; I know she is her mother’s daughter. It is even scary because they look so much alike and have the same exact birth marks. It is almost like she could be the female equivalent of Daemon. So, she meshes with her mother, as where Kenz is more like me. She has the same compassionate heart and beliefs that I have. Thus this is the problem. The two girls constantly argue and I know why, but don’t know how to fix it, because they are like their mom and I and we could not fix it either.
So, I hate the idea of leaving Brittany behind, but if I can at least save one child from that kind of mess, I would do it in a heart beat. Besides, I know Brittany would never last without her mom. They are too attached. Many of you would say I am putting one daughter over the other, but it isn’t the truth. I just know my kids.
Anyway, wish me luck and pray for the girls. Either way, I know this will be ugly and I just want the best for them as would any parent.

Expect the worst and hope for the best. Thats what I think when going into something that im not sure the outcome.
Thank you. Yes, I usually have the same attitude, especially dealing with whom I am dealing with.
