Don't I Know (18)

[gForce]

No more spousal support (thank goodness). The real bonus will be W realizing some of the challenges I have had with D14 as she deals with many of the same issues. Maybe some actual co-parenting in this regard will come out of this? I hope so.

Thanks for the comment about not leaving W alone with my parents. I think it is a good thought.

Plans have changed, now. As Thanksgiving approaches, SD9 has decided she'd like to come with us, rather than spend the long weekend with her father. SD9 and I are getting along great, so I am glad she wants to come. But the dynamic between D14 and SD9 has always been a real issue for all of us. I am trying to stay optimistic about it, but bracing for conflict at the same time.
