I advised her to just wait until she felt safer before she tried to initiate some kind of visitation with Aidan. At least three or four months.
How old is Aidan again? Can she maybe email or phone him before doing the mediated visitation? I agree that she should wait until she's comfortable and safe. But I would worry he's feeling abandoned if he can't quite gronk the adult craziness his dad's pulling. He's aware of what's going on, yes?
David, to try to cheer you, I got my hair cut tonight. I'll make sure we get a picture tomorrow.
Right on! That does cheer me. A cool cropped Bug is a sexy thing.

Aidan is 12. They tried the emails. EMEX intercepted all the emails and was poisoning the well with Aidan. Aidan would write back saying, "My Dad says he's not keeping me away from you - that you just have to talk to him." In short, EMEX was using Aidan as leverage.
Not good.
when my friend went to the public defender, the exact advice she got was "Mrs. Murphy, don't fuck up."
So, Hec, I believe that base is probably covered.

Oh, what a sick fucking asshole. Definitely has to go through mediated visitation. She'll just have to patch things up after the fact. I hope he's bright enough to understand and see through the shit. It's a horrible way to become aware of this kind of thing--he's already been though enough.
Cass, if it's any consolation to you, EM is in the arms of her strong new BF tonight, and we'll be spending the early afternoon tomorrow at her house, and then all of us will go to JZ's dad's place for T-giving. So she's not alone and she's got some places of safety.
ION, JZ is talking to Matilda: "Who is my biggest boo? Who is my littlest moo?"
Just got a call from my sister:
Mom, 4.
Deer, Nil.
She's fine but this is the 4th deer she's hit in the last 5 years. She's an awful night driver and has shitty reflexes. And her car's a total loss.
Your mom or your sister hit the deer? I'm confused.

Yowch!
She's an awful night driver and has shitty reflexes.
But she has a great recipe for venison stew?
And her car's a total loss.
Shit.
Mom hit the deer. Mom always hits the deer. Sister called because Mom was going to the ER with the friend who was riding home from Bingo with her.
No deer is safe from my mother.
