She wants her safety net.

There's always hope. Just don't count on it (but I think you already know that and are there).

Definitely go for as much custody as possible. Make sure you present this as something you are doing to help her out or make her life easier (so she'll have more time for herself, get her life together, etc...).

It's interesting how her mom is encouraging the D. Why do you think that is?


There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
