LO-- As tempting as that sounds, I would make it a point to have D4 call her father every day, at the same time each day. Walk the higher road, then at the next meeting or through an amendment to the agreement, state that each parent will have reasonable daily contact, even if only by phone. Your little one is too little to go that long without hearing from her mom.... Sometimes we have to lead by example.
Yes.. I'm really not the vindictive type so I will take the high road on this one.. He'll be able to reach her while we are on our vaca.
Had further discussion with my attorney regarding our response to stbxh's proposal. He is going to get really mad when he sees it-esp the parenting time part. Do you think I should warn him when I see him today or just let it be a "surprise"? Our ability to communicate calmly and logically seems to be gone at the moment
Holy crap.. I'm going to be D'd by the end of the month!!
I'm tired.. Soooo tired of the battle.. I guess it's just time to move on with my life. Feels kind of weird to have it really sinking in. The A is almost 2 years and counting. They WILL get married. I'm sure of that. They're soulmates, you know..
Anywho.. it is weird to think that the fight is really over now. We spend so much time doing this and that to save our marriage that it's a part of the empty feeling.. Part of the letting go of not having to do that any more. I don't know.. good or bad?? It just is what it is at this point.
Ok.. something weird has happened. After all of the arguing about custody, stbx seems to have changed his mind.. I just hope he doesn't change his mind again. Could ow be helping out with his decision to accept quite a lot less parenting time??? I'm sure she is pushing him to settle.. Imagine how long a custody hearing could take!!
((((HUGS)))) I will be thinking about you while you go through with this, sure there will be lots of ups and downs emotions. If/when you are feeling down, just remember, it will be up afterwards. Take care, LO.
That's what I'm counting on OC.. It's only up from here, right?
It's good to hear from people who have been here.. exactly right here.. that it does get better. This stuck in the middle of negotiation he!! is the worst! We just need to sign the document so that stbx has to abide by the new (better!) parenting schedule.. Please, please.. don't let him go back on what he has agreed to!!!!!
