For all those who follow my story, I was in court yesterday for the first time representing MYSELF! wow. It was great. I did not choke, I was not crazed. Just calm, collected and survived it. At the end of the session I was referred to two programs which I want to share with my readers
1. Focus on Kids: offered through the Jewish Community Center. Ran by Heni Schwartz LCSW and phone is 203.389.5599 ext 111.
2. Dr. Lou Tufano in Branford CT : phone: 203.483.5432
Both of these programs and or people help in high conflict divorce where communication is extremely hard between parents. It allows parents to learn how to communicate in some fashion. Maybe it means a mediator, maybe it is a email system, maybe it is a face to face meeting with a therapist, however, the focus for both of these is the CHILDREN. Making sure they are the main concern and that they will benefit from the communication.
I just wanted to share this with you , as Court is not always the answer. Court can not force nor make it easier for us to communicate with other people. Sometimes you have to look outside the fighting walls of justice to find the answer.
I hope this information can help someone else. I am positive that it will help me!
thanks and have a great friday!
