[@boobmyst3475]

I have full custody of my son and I live in CT. Which is a woman’s state. It’s an expensive and extremely long and different road to getting full custody. But I’d pay any amount to have my children with me.

[@reasy1978]

This female likely has personality disorder which is why she KEPT driving drunk. People with Antisocial Personality Disorder don't feel emotions the way normal people do so they seek emotional stimulation to achieve that. Sad part is they do risky things such as speeding/unsafe driving, substance abuse, permiscuous behavior etc. Another sign she probably has Antisocial Personality Disorder is her lack of self accountability. People with these disorders are never genuinely remorseful because they simply lack the emotional capacity to feel remorse like normal people. Also they play victim, even in situations where they are the aggressor. They are great pretenders. Notice she was hollering when the dad was speaking but when sentenced she was pretty much emotionless. And all of that shaking was an act. They will try to immulate the appropriate emotional responses for the right situation but they don't genuinely feel it. These are for the most part emotionally numb individuals.

Not just ask her and when she says no he forget about it and don’t do anything! If he really had good intentions for his son he would have fought long and hard for him from the start!

Because you have not birthed a child and had no help. My mother cried many nights because she was exhausted and alone. Depression is different-;she mentioned not having parents. She drank to numb the pain and feelings she felt, not to kill her children. Some people are so disassociated from reality until something of this magnitude happens. Her poor children suffered.

[@cowboylemonheadmedia]

@@kjlee8399 Your point? Prove she had no help from him. Prove he wasn’t present.

Yes he did. This was one sad case, on both sides, tears rolled from hearing both sides, and all still suffering behind this. It literally take all hurting now, to be on a daily, one on One, prayer, with God. And from this your faith increase and you see moves God is making in your life. You can't for sure, undo the damage done, with a life taken, but you can recompense maybe having a platform where you can help others not make your mistake. Because it's a big hole to fill it will require, an ACT, good deed of sorts, and above all your asking others to forgive you, be sure you ask God, to forgive you. Once you do that, it's done. I am so glad that God is not like man.

This female likely has personality disorder which is why she KEPT driving drunk. People with Antisocial Personality Disorder don't feel emotions the way normal people do so they seek emotional stimulation to achieve that. Sad part is they do risky things such as speeding/unsafe driving, substance abuse, permiscuous behavior etc. Another sign she probably has Antisocial Personality Disorder is her lack of self accountability. People with these disorders are never genuinely remorseful because they simply lack the emotional capacity to feel remorse like normal people. Also they play victim, even in situations where they are the aggressor. They are great pretenders. Notice she was hollering when the dad was speaking but when sentenced she was pretty much emotionless. And all of that shaking was an act. They will try to immulate the appropriate emotional responses for the right situation but they don't genuinely feel it. These are for the most part emotionally numb individuals.
