OK, I've spent many hours reading through the posts on this forum, learning. I'm lucky to have found this site and it has some amazing people in it. A thread that runs deep, is how to negotiate the legal system that is rather leaning towards the mother ( as the usual resident parent) even though it is often the case that that same mother, is unreasonable, malicious, dishonest and not child centric.
So, I want to share this with you all. In 1983, when I was at college, I met a famous conductor and a famous musician ( who was my mentor as principle professor). The conductor was a former nazi ( by membership), the musician was a jew. I sat and listened to them over a cup of tea, and they seemed to talk, just like old friends, clearly admiring each other.
On the way out, the conductor turned to me and said "..do you hear, or do you have to listen"? he was gone before I had even thought of an answer, and its stuck with me since then, it seems such an odd question. I thought it was a question on music, until I was talking about it many years later.
How could these 2 people who despised each other so much, act like old friends ?
What he was pointing out, is there are many talents, but the "being friendly to people you find repulsive" is truly a talent or a very hard learned skill. One that we all have to learn if we are to succeed in court.
me? not talented in this at all. I can't help myself but portray my dislike. I'll have to learn hard over the next few months.
