Won a battle, Started Another War

[shadowedmoon]

I'm starting to feel like what I'd imagine a presidant feels like when a war starts.  We had another temprary custody hearing Monday.  We maintain custody of both kids, but we found out that Sean's BF is going to attempt full custody of Sean.  They lied to us and led us on for awhile that they would be fine with us maintaining custody of Sean as long as they were able to see Sean.  We thought that that was reasonable and best for Sean.  Now I've got another set of people trying to take my son from me.

I'm having difficulty restraining the anger and betrayl I feel.  When it comes down to the trial that will inevitably come, I want to know that my son will stay with me and my kids will stay together.  I'm terrified that this man that suddenly has an "in", will find a way to take my son.

Worst of all, my son is in a phase where his behavior is terrible.  I can't stand some of the braty things that he does.  Yesterday, he threw a tantrum in a store so badly, that all the Love and Logic stuff was of no use.  Except that I can carry the consiquences of his behavior into today.  I was mortified by his behavior and not backed up by the person I was with.  As a result of the attitude and poor choices he made, he'll be doing my chores for a week in addition to his chores, and he will have to do them with a superb attitude to earn his way back into the stores.  Hopfully, that will help his behavioral issues.  My point being, he's got a lot going on with him right now, and he's acting out.  He isn't going to make a custody battle for his best interest easier.  He's going to make it harder.
