Update:

The Court Session went well. It was short and very "by the book". I did get my reasons for equally shared custody out and feel better about the chances. My W was there and angry (as usual). It must be hard for her to go thru each day with so much anger and hate. She is notvreally directing at me. It is directed at everything she encounters.

I have ny divorce group tonight and 4 kids ballgames this week. I am really looking forward to getting the D over with in most ways. There is still a small part that wants what we had for 16 years. I know that is gone. What is next is the mystery.
