I lived in STL and followed Meghan early on social media. Looking back, I can see now that some of her posts - even going back 15 years - were really manic. It wouldn't surprise me if she had mental illness. Add in 3 kids in 2 years, a cheating spouse and other stressors... and I imagine she just broke. To me, her oversharing on social media seems like a cry for help.

I'm not sure that Edmonds is the monster people are making him out to be. I guess it's good he and his wife are stepping up with the kids. But to move his kids to TN at a time when they probably really need their mother and some assurance she's going to be okay... I dunno. Seems like it would've been better for them to relocate back to STL and help Meghan get the help she needs.

Her family was a nice, normal St. Louis family back in the day. I wonder if they are trying to stay involved in the kids' lives. I imagine it's really tough when your daughter's ex has unlimited funds and is revered in STL.

Poor kids. I hope Jim is being a good father and that their mom gets well.

Please explain to me how he's being a "good father" by suddenly removing the children from their entire world in STL. He has unlimited funds, he can afford to set up a home in STL quickly.

Please explain how she was being a good mother by moving her three young children into the home of a man she had been dating for six weeks, and wanting to move to California to be with this man (Jim stopped the move) and marrying and divorcing this man within 2 months. Please explain how these actions are those of a good mother?

He blocked Meghan’s move, then a few years later, he and Kortnie moved to Tennessee, and shortly after that move, he got sole custody and permission to relocate the kids to Tennessee, away from their mother and their extended family, which appears to play a significant role in their lives. Something is off here. Meghan was always punching out of her weight class in her battles with Jim.

Yes, Meghan’s behavior.

Her behavior is a human response to what sure looks like a scheme to take her children away, not just a little away. He ended up with sole custody and a move to Tennessee when he previously argued that the kids shouldn't be removed from their family, friends and home in STL.

She has been wilding out for YEARS. Odd you just want to focus on her custody loss. Which was related to her giving her child drugs. Imagine defending that.

"Wilding out"? How old are you?

Can you please outline how medical decision-making authority was laid out in their custody order? Can you speak to the doctors the boys have had over the years, their medical histories, and their diagnoses? Also can you speak to Jim's involvement in those appointments, and also the IEP meetings at school?

Also, do you have experience with joint medical decision-making and how abusers weaponize that and withhold it as a means of ongoing coercive control and abuse?

If so, please share.

DP. You nailed my suspicions / the two of them have bitter, deep fights and the kids are pawns. Jim weaponized legal decision-making over necessary drugs then when he moved, she tried to act unilaterally and he pounced. Now, he’s rid of his Meghan problem. No more flights back-and-forth to STL. No more dealing with her concerns about their special-needs child. Now he can make all the decisions himself without all the inconveniences, without their grandparents’ influence, without their pain in the neck mother in the picture upsetting his new wife.

And time will tell if the child does better or worse with his father and if he is as severely disabled and as unmanageable as Meghan described. It was clear that Jim’s understanding of his disabilities after talking with the doctors was different from Meghan’s. According to Jim in 2022, the doctor told him he did not have a cerebral palsy diagnosis. That he had a condition called PVL - peri ventricular leukomalacia. Jim was also opposed to every detail of his son’s health and behaviour being documented publicly.

I don’t understand how the prior custody agreement didn’t have ant language about limiting the child’s medical information being routinely blasted online? I know most states don’t have overarching laws protecting children’s privacy but if Jim didn’t want all details shared, that’s what he should have been fighting for in their custody battles.

Jim and his team should have also been prevented from leaking "information" in the media in the recent months in order to smear Meghan.

Might as well add Meghan talking to Kelly Dodd since Meghan has been using her as a mouthpiece.

False. Kelly said one thing weeks ago when the news first broke. Likely a knee-jerk response to the shock of it all. She hasn't said anything since.

Meghan is allowed to lean on friends and family for support. Clearly no one else has said anything.

She may have verbally said something once, which I doubt, but she has been commenting on various instagram posts.

A "mouthpiece" that does not make. She did simply call Jim a "d**k" on a news post when the most recent news came out. She is certainly allowed to share her opinion. What other comments is she posting, specifically outing details about the situation and acting as Meghan's mouthpiece?

Periventricular Leukomalacia is a brain injury and a major precursor to Cerebral Palsy. CP is the most common outcome of PV.

Jim is a unconscionable petty d**k for denying and slow-rolling the medical care for his son, and likely the other one, too.

There are different causes of pvl, different severities, and different outcomes. Since the twins were 37 weeks at birth and over 6 pounds, they are in the category that typically has the more mild cases and the best outcomes. CP is not the most common outcome for all types and all severities. I don’t know the underlying causes for the twins but it isn’t a foregone conclusion that they would have CP.

I do remember Meghan said one of the twins was first diagnosed with PVL early on. Then at some point later (a year? two years?) she updated that he had been diagnosed with CP. She specified which type, but I do not remember.

Why did Jim post a holiday photo with one of his sons without pants? He’s way too old to be photographed without pants and put up on the Internet for all to see. Someone should call CPS on him.

On what platform? I just checked his Ig and nothing there since Thanksgiving and all with pants.

Given he has custody now, being a good father is giving them a safe and stable home to live in. Many people move with their kids when they have primary or sole custody to be in the best environment for the family.

and yet, he isn't doing that. Moving them states away?

I lived in STL and followed Meghan early on social media. Looking back, I can see now that some of her posts - even going back 15 years - were really manic. It wouldn't surprise me if she had mental illness. Add in 3 kids in 2 years, a cheating spouse and other stressors... and I imagine she just broke. To me, her oversharing on social media seems like a cry for help.

I'm not sure that Edmonds is the monster people are making him out to be. I guess it's good he and his wife are stepping up with the kids. But to move his kids to TN at a time when they probably really need their mother and some assurance she's going to be okay... I dunno. Seems like it would've been better for them to relocate back to STL and help Meghan get the help she needs.

Her family was a nice, normal St. Louis family back in the day. I wonder if they are trying to stay involved in the kids' lives. I imagine it's really tough when your daughter's ex has unlimited funds and is revered in STL.

Poor kids. I hope Jim is being a good father and that their mom gets well.

Please explain to me how he's being a "good father" by suddenly removing the children from their entire world in STL. He has unlimited funds, he can afford to set up a home in STL quickly.

Please explain how she was being a good mother by moving her three young children into the home of a man she had been dating for six weeks, and wanting to move to California to be with this man (Jim stopped the move) and marrying and divorcing this man within 2 months. Please explain how these actions are those of a good mother?

He blocked Meghan’s move, then a few years later, he and Kortnie moved to Tennessee, and shortly after that move, he got sole custody and permission to relocate the kids to Tennessee, away from their mother and their extended family, which appears to play a significant role in their lives. Something is off here. Meghan was always punching out of her weight class in her battles with Jim.

Yes, Meghan’s behavior.

Her behavior is a human response to what sure looks like a scheme to take her children away, not just a little away. He ended up with sole custody and a move to Tennessee when he previously argued that the kids shouldn't be removed from their family, friends and home in STL.

She has been wilding out for YEARS. Odd you just want to focus on her custody loss. Which was related to her giving her child drugs. Imagine defending that.

"Wilding out"? How old are you?

Can you please outline how medical decision-making authority was laid out in their custody order? Can you speak to the doctors the boys have had over the years, their medical histories, and their diagnoses? Also can you speak to Jim's involvement in those appointments, and also the IEP meetings at school?

Also, do you have experience with joint medical decision-making and how abusers weaponize that and withhold it as a means of ongoing coercive control and abuse?

If so, please share.

DP. You nailed my suspicions / the two of them have bitter, deep fights and the kids are pawns. Jim weaponized legal decision-making over necessary drugs then when he moved, she tried to act unilaterally and he pounced. Now, he’s rid of his Meghan problem. No more flights back-and-forth to STL. No more dealing with her concerns about their special-needs child. Now he can make all the decisions himself without all the inconveniences, without their grandparents’ influence, without their pain in the neck mother in the picture upsetting his new wife.

Nailed it. He's a manipulative narcissistic pos.

Couldn't she have gone to court and fought his move? Oh, I forgot - he's a god in STL and the system will give him whatever he wants.

Then you would post as such instead of the screeds that have been posted on this thread about people just “knowing” Jim must be a narcissistic abuser manipulating the courts. All of these rants painting Meghan as a victim would be more factual rather than just “feelings” that poor Meghan is being mistreated. Instead of you know, the people actually being mistreated - her kids?

The allegation came via third-party quote from a woman who'd seen video footage of prior custody exchanges and she described Jim as being rageful and frightening and putting thd kids in the middle of the conflict where Meghsb tried to shield them. Her organization is a watchdog for abusers. The organization is One Mom’s Battle.

Multiple posters made the same claims earlier in the thread. And you’ve lost the plot if you believe anything from One Mom’s Battle.

Of course, as a group of educated moms, we believe in One Mom's Battle and in the work they are doing to help children and mothers. You now sound like the problem.

She has an extreme bias and agenda and needs to keep that in everything she says and does as that is how she makes a living. Kind of skews her narrative when you can already predict exactly what she will say about each case.

You just told us everything we need to know about you.

I don’t know what happened. I have no doubt that Jim is no saint and he is so rich the power dynamic is way in his favor.

She didn’t give up custody. She lost custody. The current deal is likely the best she would get at this time given her behavior.

She needs to go to rehab and become the mother these kids need. Then she can petition for more custody.

Wrong. It says they cut a deal right before court. Megan agreed to the deal. She did not lose custody. It sounds like she accepted the deal. I don’t know why.

Nope. She had already lost custody. The judge was about to make it permanent. Her deal with Jim was better than she would have faired in court.

How the f do you know this unless you are one of them? What a load.

That is likely the child she was also self medicating. It will be interesting to see if once he is away from her if he still has all the same issues and if he is actually severely disabled.

I see this play so many times. Any time a mom expresses concern about their child or is worried about the child's medical issues, munchausen's by proxy comes up. It is incredibly rare. It such a fast easy way to smear a mom. It was the number one diagnosis on this site in parenting forums by posters criticizing ops. Now it's diagnosing everyone as being on spectrum.

There are lots of videos of this child online given how publicly Meghan posted about her kids. They just don’t really fit with her description of him being severely disabled.
