Parenting plan perils

PARENTING PLAN PERILS
A right worth fighting for

By Sean Cutshall

I've learned "nothing is as it seems", and that rings true in fatherhood.

 I'm a month into the filing of a parenting plan, and wonder if the dust will ever settle and it be about the life-changing love aInd relationship I have with my daughter.

Yes, promises were made and broken between the mother and me, but I refuse to accept a lesser role in my daughter's life, even if distance is the face being put on the newest problem I'm having getting alone time with my daughter.

 I feel as if I am preparing for a rigid negotiations with the mother,as to where, when and how I will see and raise my daughter in the coming years. Forgive me if I never feel completely comfortable negotiating time with my daughter.

Over the next few months, this may become even more uncomfortable as the courts determine who has the best plan of residential schedule, in regards to my daughter Keeley. One thing is for sure, no matter how uncomfortable the negotiations become, count me in as a player at this table. My daughter is worth me suiting up, and playing for keeps.
