The flame is flickering out...

Thanks NG, for the encouraging words.

I respect the need to be careful. I just wish things would move more quickly.

I'm trying to move on with my life. I don't find my prospects of very appealing.

The best outcome would be me as a single dad with kids, no spouse to share them with. Of course I could find a new mate, but it is a long long shot to find someone who loves your kids as much as you do. So when I will be with my kids, I expect to be on my own, alone. Already I have seen the dynamic, and it's a far cry from having a parenting partner. I miss my partner.

From this point on the worst outcome for me is for the court to continue on the path she has set for them, and give her 100% custody. Then I am a man with no family at all. I would be at her mercy, she could decide when and where I could see them, and so on. That is not the life of a free man at all. That is the life of a prisoner. It would be heartbreaking to me. Scary to think about it. So I try not to.

In a week I will know more.
