Hi peace- I hope the co-parenting counseling will help your H reconnect with the kids...it would be nice if it helped him see the reality of the situation too but have no expectations of that happening.
I don't think you ever took a hard line about your XH taking your kids, just not wanting them to be exposed to the OW. I wish that more LBS were able to get a stipulation like that in their court order. I always pleaded with my XH to keep the kids away from the OW but that never happened...in fact, the more I pushed for that, the more she made it clear that I couldn't stop her. I just think that is evil!!! Be thankful that your XH agreed to wait...and a lot can happen in 8 months but still prepare yourself that it will happen just in case.
