FYI Karen, I'm trying not to turn my W into a basket case (not yet) will wait till D is final, don't want her to call L and fight for custody.
Jeff, isn't it too late for that? I mean, I think your W already is a basket-case at least sometimes!!!
I just don't think it's a mom thing or a woman thing or whatever. You have been your kids' primary caretaker as have I. I've done at least 90% of raising my kids for 14 years now, so for H to even try for primary custody is unbelievable to me. But if I was their dad, I think it should be the same thing. I was raised by my single widower dad so I don't think it's a gender thing or at least shouldn't be. Karen
