I have not gotten too crazed about it. Long durations of time have been difficult. Our court proceeding on MOnday is regarding custody and visitation and it will soon have some structure to everything.

I do agree that once she gets a taste of the "single life" and get over punishing me, she will begin to leave him with me more. I am also holding out for the day where our S tells her that he wants to live with me. That is years off but I know that day will eventually come.

The only people my STBX has had stay in her life for any long duration, see her once a month and family. Anyone close to her is gone after some duration of time because she either pushes them away or they leave on their own.
