MapleWife hasn't the best judgement but I don't imagine she's on the level of some of the parents featured on this site. Anyone following the Susan & Michael Schofield thread or the Manchusens related threads will know that the state is fairly unwilling to part kids from a mother unless they have a proper iron-clad case to confirm the mother is abusing their kids in some way. The fact she at least was smart enough to get out of dodge to a shelter or somewhere with the kid suggests she's still way better than the likes of Susan. She's probably not feeding the childs meds they don't need and seems to have mostly dedicated her time to being a mom after the kid was born.
Also yeah the Pitball advocacy was a bit weird but the kids still alive so I assume she's a responsible enough dog owner, even if she's passionate about her pets.
There are issues with fathers rights, but people like Lowtax here generally don't help the case of dad's who are willing to put their kids needs over getting a win over mommy because she left you. Generally he's actually somewhat proving that Ashlii's actions were justified on attitude and social media posts alone. Keeping it in limbo long term isn't good for anyone - so I hope she's getting her next steps set up because it's not good for her or the kid to be stuck in a shelter for a long period of time.
I still don't buy that marital arguments didn't end with "all it would take is one call to police to let them know you are here as an illegal..." because it's pretty much the thing he jumped to soon as he learned she took off and has been drumming about since. "Omg she's illegal, why is the state not acting like the media told me and deporting my mean canadian soon-to-be-ex-wife and forcing her to surrender her child to meee?"
