Wouldn't help. She knows when I am here, and wouldn't expect the kids to need her over me. They are old enough to not care about that so much. And then I would also get the "using the kids against her" speech. Everything is justified to her in her mind right now, and in her mind, we are completely done except for the finalites of it all. She is in the house till summer is over, kind of wishing right now summer were over. And until I can get a way for our business to quit supporting her, I am kind of screwed.
