After I had ended our relationship, I created a schedule based on our work schedules. Cian was with me certain days and with Luz certain days most often alternating from one day to the next. That way he was able to be with each of us as frequently as possible. On one of these days, I came to get Cian and then Luz got in the shower. I had an appointment at my new house to meet someone to do some work, so Cian and I went over to the house. This was our day together, so Cian was supposed to be with me.
A bit after I arrived at my house, Luz pulled in. She got out and started screaming at me outside. She was irate that I took Cian. She was leaving for work and it was Cian's day with me, but somehow in her mind I had taken him without her permission—as if he was her son and I am just some guy she allows to hang out with my son. Since he was born, that is how it has been. To her I am just a caretaker who gets to be with his own son only at her pleasure.
She screamed at me that if I ever take him like that again she will call the police and charge me with kidnapping. Kidnapping—for taking my son at our agreed upon time when it was his and my day together. See, even with an agreement in place she is the kind of person who would charge her son's father with kidnapping and scream that around all of my new neighbors.
I did nothing wrong. I followed all the rules and pandered to her every whim and still she thought it was ok to do something like this. Once again, in her mind, this was completely right and justified as she told me again later.
