I screwed up again

[AnotherNightmare]

Beth,

I am not sure I understand completely what you are referring to. But let me try to describe the dilemma in other words:

Due to her decision to go back to Germany and my desire to stay here, the kids will only have one parent. Based on the info I received from a lawyer, it looks like it will be my decision whether or not I allow her to take the kids abroad. Most likely a court will not allow that, especially if I disagree. So in the end, it is my decision to either fight for custody (which I am determined to do) or simply let her leave with the kids.

One other point: I am fighting for my kids, because I think it is the right thing to do, not because I want to get her back. So far everything I have been thinking about was how to get her back into this M. This is the first time (maybe not the very first time) I am doing it just for me.
