I have to keep fighting, but it is hard. Today I'm a bit down. It is just one of those things. Anyway, you mentioned the following:
Quote:
We are a rare breed, wanting as much time with our children as possible. The courts, hopefully in both of our cases, see that our children are fortunate and allow us as much time as possible.
My L told me this is the angle he pushes if we do have to go to court -- "shouldn't he be rewarded rather than punished for wanting to spend as much time w/ his D as possible?" I hope we don't have to go to court, but if we do, I'm paying him to be good, so I am hoping to get my money's worth.
I did get to talk w/ D yesterday for a bit and also to W. D then called me back and left a message while I was in the gym telling me goodnight and that she loved me. W and I communicated today about her calling the DMV to get the tabs and registration for the car I'm driving as well as for my seeing D this week and next. W and D leave for Indiana on the 14th and aren't back until the 22nd, so I want as much time as I can before they take off.
W told me yesterday they have plans to spend the night w/ a friend of ours and her two girls b/c her husband will be out of town. I know W is going to bash me and to our mutual friends and I'm fighting the urge to call and pre-empt her attacks by asking them to reserve judgement until they've heard my side.
However, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be a good thing to do, so for now, I won't. I hope they are level-headed enough to see some of the obvious red flags that should be apparent when they hear W's tales. If not, then there is nothing really I could do, but I still hope there is someone out there that knows us both that will at least start to question W's stories and actions.
So, I guess that is why I'm down. I've got some errands to run then I'll try and exercise tonight or take the dogs for a walk. If not, I'll at least hang out and watch baseball, which I do love to do.
