Re: Chances of Child Custody for the Father?

Sorry for the double post, but to give further insight into this problem, one thing she mentioned was that I never took my daughter to the doctor visits. Itis widely known by family and friends that I have a fear or aversion of hospitals and a phobia about needles and punctures. Several times, however, I offered to take my daughter to the doctor, even stating it might help me get over my fear. My wife said that she wanted to take her because it gave her time to spend with the baby. So I allowed it, with an admitted sigh of relief. For context, any time I have gone to a doctor I was visibly shaking and sweating profusely and my blood pressure always shows high in the presence of nurses and doctors. The only way I even lived through my daughters birth was by focusing on my wife and the baby.

In 2010, my daughter was bitten in the face by a large dog while in the care of her mother at her parents house. This dog had already attacked her at my house and I told them to never allow her around the dog which always growled at her presence. Witnesses stated that they put the dog outside, but it somehow got back inside to attack my daughter, which must have been unsupervised to be allowed that close to a 100 pound boxer. She spent 4 days in Dells Children Hospital, and while my wife stayed with her overnights, I came every day and spent much of my time running errands and getting lunches to make their stay more pleasant. I even tried to stay overnight with them, but my anxiety was so great that one night I woke up around 3 shaking and sweating again. My wife told me to go home, and while I was making my way to the parking lot I threw up because I was so shaken.

Now she holds this against me, saying that she will point out that my daughter was not important enough for me to stay overnight. This was also during the same time period that my mother's brain cancer had made her delirious and .. I don't know the word- delusional maybe. I was just holding so much weight and dealing with so many things, I kept crying when I saw my mom failing to cancer or my daughter with big puncture wounds in her face.
