I am trying to get through all this crap and still be able to smile sometimes. I haven't heard from my ILs today. Yesterday MIL said she would call today but I do know they have so much going on that I kinda didn't expect to hear from them, but it would be nice. I would be lying if I didn't confess that I am worried STBX and ow are taking advantage of the situation and telling lies about me, I know it sounds paranoid but they did it with my kids to the point that D9 wouldn't hug me at the airport when she came back from her visit. I guess I have to let it go. People are going to believe what they believe and I cannot control it, I can only live my life with honesty, dignity and compassion.
Talked with my L today. STBX originally asked for only 2 weeks in the summer, now he has upped it to 4 weeks. I didn't want to agree to that because not seeing my kids for 4 weeks will be torture, but I get them the rest of the year and if the shoe was on the other foot I would want them too. My L asked me if I thought he would really keep them the 4 weeks. If it was him alone, no way, with ow, probably. Also, if we went to court the judge would probably give him all summer except for the first and last weeks. So I will agree to 4.
He also wanted to give me 1 DAY notice of his coming to visit the kids. My L and I agreed that this is unreasonable. We changed our request from 14 days to 7 days and said I would do my best to accommadate him if he has unexpected business travel here. And he also wants me to agree to send the kids on a plane "supervised"...WTH does that mean? I had asked that an agreed upon adult would supervise the kids on a flight. I have NO intention of agreeing to my 5 and 9 year old girls flying across the country supervised by a flight attendant. Nothing against flight attendants but God only knows what could happen. Remember the young girl that was "fondled" by the guy in the seat next to her under her blanket??????
Gotta get some sleep, have to be at work by 7am. Blech.
So I will agree to 4.
