I got word from my atty today. W's L contacted her to state their latest stance. W now wants me to only have the track-out periods with S8 except for one week each year (so she can take them on a vacation with her). W claims she wants to have all of the tracked-in/school nights with the S's, implying I am incompetent to help my children with school.

That means that I would have them less than 25% of the year. As my L put it, that would be "moving backwards" with regards to my time with my sons.

I am trying to fathom the grounds upon which any sane person would think that appropriate.

I also suspect that the MIL is also ready to testify in a custody hearing -- I gather that she is sending messages to W's L claiming she has first hand knowledge of how terrible a person I am and thus unfit to raise my S's. Or at least that's the tone I am gathering from the email W's L sent my atty.

It is sad that so many people think nothing of perjuring themselves.

Thinking about this is staggering...

I had a coworker ask me today how could someone be that evil towards their spouse. I nodded my head and said what I think she was thinking, "Yes, it hardly seems credible, don't it? That someone can do all these things, someone seemingly so nice and innocent... It's what I've been trying to get my mind around since the second she announced she was leaving me, and I still haven't been able to reconcile it in my own mind."

What my co-worker had said, though, the word "evil", has stuck with me ever since then. Yes, sadly, there is no other word that can be adequate enough to describe the repeated and willful treachery I have had to witness. Evil, just so evil...

How can someone live with themselves like that? How?
