SixyearsagoIfacedmybigdecision.My problemwasnotthatofdecidingwhetherto breakupmymarriageortoholdittogether forthesakeofthechildrenandkeepthe semblanceofa"normal"home.

Myhusbandhadfallen inlovewithanotherwoman andwantedtomarryher; sothatparticulardecision wasnotminetomake.The problemthatfacedmewas thesharingofourchildren withmyhusbandandhis newwife.

Sincehewasdetermined tobeginanewlifewith thiswoman,eventhoughit meantgivinguphisfamily,hisjob,hisreligion,there waslittlehopeforeventual reconciliation.

Duringthefirstfew monthsofourseparation, therewasnoprobleminsharingthechildren.He seemedtohaveforgotten theirveryexistenceand madenoattempttovisit themoreventoinquire abouttheirhealth.

IssueOfChildren

Iamsureitwasthis initialdistinterestthat clinchedmyeventualplea forcompleteandpermanent custody.

BecauseIintendedtoremainaCatholic,thefact thathewastakingstepsto secureacivildivorcemeant nothingtome,atfirst.I say"atfirst,"becauseIdid notrealisethatasaCatholic Iwasobligedtocontesthis divorceaction.

Iagreedtolethiminitiate theproceedingsandto acceptthempassively.I learnedthroughthediocesan thatchancery,however, Imustanswerhispeti-tion,andwasadvisedto enteracross-petition.

Withlegalverbiage,I statedinmybillthatmy husband"showednointerestinoraffectionforthe children."

Itwasafterhisreceipt ofthiscross-petitionthat hemanifestedhisfirst acknowledgmentofthechildrensinceourseparation. Heimmediatelyaskedtobe allowedtovisitthemand wasassuredbyhislawyer thatthiswashislegalright.

Ofcourseitwashislegalright,butwhatofthechildren?Theywereyoung enoughtoforgethimcompletely.Theyhadnotmiss-

Therewerenostories daddyusedtoread,no prayersdaddyusedtohear. Therewerenomemoriesof ball-playingwithdaddy,or oftherough-houseand wrestlingcommonbetween mostfathersandtheir children.

Theyneverknewthe nightsdaddydidn'tshowup atall.Theyneverknew thewonderfulfamilyunity sharedbysomanylucky onesand,neverknowingit, theynevermissedit.

So,Ipleadedwithhim, beggedhimtogiveuphis legalrightofvisitation.I thoughtoftheyearsahead whenthechildrenwouldbe shippedofffortheirannual vacationwithdaddyandhis wile.
