Michael’s Decision To Break Up With Jacinda
The never-ending custody battle between Michael (Rory Gibson) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) just took a turn.
Willow has had a problem with Jacinda (Paige Herschell) from day one. The congresswoman used her power to get a restraining order against Michael’s girlfriend to keep her away from the children. Jacinda was understandably upset, but she made the wrong move when she drugged Willow’s iced coffee.
Michael knew that Willow would conclude that Jacinda was the culprit, so he decided to get ahead of the problem. He ended their relationship and encouraged his girlfriend to leave town. This was not easy for him, but he felt there was no other choice. He cares for Jacinda, but he will not jeopardize retaining custody of his kids for anything or anyone.
The Importance Of Fatherhood For Michael
Michael knows his ex-wife and was correct in assuming that she would be on the warpath after what Jacinda had done. Not long after the break-up, Willow stormed into the house demanding full custody of Wiley (Viron Weaver) and Amelia (Sienna Goerisch).
Willow came armed with ammunition. She knew his girlfriend had drugged her, but what she didn’t know was that Jacinda was now out of Michael’s life. He knew that his ex would be thrilled to use the situation in court, so he eliminated it. He proved that his children come first and that he would sacrifice his relationship for their well-being.
Michael believes that his sacrifice was necessary, but he may also be allowing Willow to dictate his life, and she will pick up on that. This could give her already inflated ego a boost, and she could end up throwing her weight around even more than before.
The truth about Willow’s crimes needs to come out. Until it does, she seems to have the upper hand in this custody battle. Do you think Michael made the right move?
