I spoke with a friend of W's today, asking her advice about some stuff in the future.
I sort of lovehate these conversations. The people I talk to are all supportive and offering sound advice. I agree with it all. But of course it presumes there is some rationality in the whole situation. "What you guys need to do is come to some agreement about where you will live, how much you will see the kids, and so on." I couldn't agree more, of course. But when there is no communication (protection order), there will be no agreeing. When one of us wants the other to have zero time with the kids, that is hard for me to agree with. So I feel "Validated" if that is the right word, when I speak to these people, but also frustrated that what seems to make sense to me, and to other people I talk to, is so out of reach.
