"So what I would say to you is stay friendly, distant, keep working on yorself, set your boundaries and start protecting yourself, but don't let things get ugly."
I agree with this whole heartedly. I want to try to be that way. I guess when I get the offical papers I will see as to how fair she wants to be. I am guessing....that for the most part she will be, up until this point I will admit that she has been, (even more than). I think that some of this is driven out of guilt. Right now, for me, its all about business and I am out to get the best possible deal I can for myself and my daughter.
