Root, So far, the kids are mostly with me. They've last seen their mom on Tue. They had stayed there overnite Mon. Before that DD8 had stayed with her mom Thur nite and DD12 came home Thur nite. DDs each have cells and they can talk with their mom during the day. Most nites they are here. They see there mom maybe 4-5 playdates during the week(?). I'll check my notes later. Stay overnite maybe 2 nites(?). I'm letting things ride as their mom will hang her self. She's said to a friend that she'll do whatever it takes to keep me off her back so that she can see the kids. Whatever. Still that attitude of defiance. Again. Whatever. I would prefer 100%. Period. I'll be patient and see what happens between now and court date in Nov. My DDs are safe with me. They have now the oppurtunity to live a far better life. And I don't mean to sound like a d**ck by saying that. I've just come to the conclusion that their mom's world is just plain and simply unhealthy for the girls. As something SorryDog and I were talking about, as the father, I am the leader of the household, ultimately responsible for it's well being, and at this time I must make the desicions that best serve my family (DDs and I). (Hope that didn't sound too harsh ). Thank you again. BoB
