Is he so big headed that he actually believes this stuff? How many African Americans does Wright know that have been given a $1.5 million dollar home by their workplaces?

You are doing everything in your power to make sure that you never get custody of those kids.      While your time with the kids is so limited, you decided to take even more time away from them by going chandelier shopping while leaving them in the backseat of your car to be babysat by the court appointed monitor.           This action clearly  translates that you are  thumbing your nose at the court for a) not giving you custody of the children and b) making you have a monitor when the kids are in your presence.     But what you are  really doing is  thumbing our nose at yourself. .Making the monitor baby sit the kids is definitely not part of her job description.. I am sure that her disdain over what you did will show up in her report  to the judge and will serve as yet another nail which will  shut you out of your sons lives.      That might be a good thing for
