Sometimes the clearest way to understand a situation is to stop listening to the noise and start looking at the record.
That is exactly why I created the idea of the BS Meter.
On one side, there are claims. On the other, there are documented responses — emails, communication logs, letters, records, and other supporting documents. When you compare the two, the difference becomes pretty obvious.
In recent sworn court materials, statements were made suggesting that I made little or no effort to remain involved in my daughters’ lives for extended periods of time. I dispute that account. My records show otherwise.
I have retained over 509 emails documenting repeated efforts to communicate and requests to see my daughters. The filed materials themselves also acknowledge receiving emails from me asking to see them. That is important, because this is not simply a matter of competing memories or opinions. There is a written record.
When unsupported claims are stacked up on one side, they may look dramatic. But when documented responses are placed beside them, the picture changes quickly. Emails matter. Communication logs matter. Court records matter. Actual documents matter.
This is not about creating more conflict. It is about insisting that the full record be considered.
I have never wanted this to become a debate based only on emotion, accusation, or whatever story sounds most convincing in the moment. I believe facts should matter. Dates should matter. Documents should matter. If there are written communications, they should be reviewed. If there are records, they should be considered.
The truth is that there is a documented history of my efforts to remain involved.
That is why I believe the complete record should always carry more weight than isolated allegations.
If claims are going to be made, then the supporting documents should be looked at too.
And when that happens, the BS Meter tends to speak for itself.
Hope life is awesome. I know mine is 🙂
Hugs and kisses and love from Pappy (people can deny but it’s still my last name)
