I pulled S7/S8 out of the daycare for the summer to remove them from the chess board so they can't be used as pawns during custody swaps and as a means to bleed me financially.

My boss has authorized me to work from home permanently which will also do away with the costs during the school year. (If one door closes God opens another) Didn't even ask him for that - he just brought it up out of the blue this morning.

D1 was doing well this morning. She had her hair done up like Pebbles from Flintstones again. She was squealing at some of the other children in the room, and came up to me for me to hold her. S7/S8 got to play with her for a few minutes as well. She threw a ball back and forth and laughed each time they brought it back to her. It looked like she had a bruise on her noggin which is par for the course when babies are walking.

I text-messaged W to ask about if she has looked into getting her own insurance coverage. No response in over an hour. Something tells me she is not liking where reality is heading. She can't just ignore court now... which is exactly what it appears she is doing.

I really have no intention of a reconciliation at the point of a gun. She won't return to our M without wanting to feel like she is in control and did nothing wrong. That is unacceptable to me, especially given everything that has happened. I'm just suspecting she is going to try for it. I deserve better than that.
