Thanks 25 and Frank. Follow up pedi appt the next day showed a red throat so he feels this still comes under the category of febrile seizure related to viral causes. She is supposed to outgrow this. D6 needs an MRI and EEG in the ensuing week or so.

Things are quiet in the house right now. STBXW spends all her time studying now which I LOVE (more time with the kids). Unfortunately, nothing is getting done in the house. I did four loads of laundry this weekend and I am folding as best I can amongst other chores.

No follow up yet from the L's re: a final rough draft of the settlement. It's only been a week. STBXW is doing the scheduling for the tests for D6.

It's amazing that...after all this time..all the papers filed...all the angst...all the crap required by the State of NY to inflict anger on your spouse...it still all comes down to a financial settlement and custody agreement. It all in a sense means nothing (I guess...unless it went to trial). You can be a loving, caring excellent father and not have to be:
  • at every well-child visit
  • at every practice, meeting, etc
  • at every shower and bath

Whereas my STBXW photographed me if the kids came into the bedroom w hile I slept, there was D6 sleeping next to her this morning.

It's all BS.

Finally, STBXW has now changed religions again, I think for the 5th or 6th time. NOW...she is demanding time on the holidays with them, even went to services yesterday and read from the prayer books and kissed the Torah. She was wearing a cross only days ago. In a 'normal' situation, I would be ecstatic to see that she is encouraging the kids spiritual growth and desiring to be a part of it. In reality, it is MY opinion (FH, I hope you'll now understand), that she is feigning this to avoid losing time with the kids and will return to the status quo after the settlement is signed.

? Stable judgement?

I think not.

Confusing to the kids?

Absolutely.

Acting in good faith?

Not at all.

I continue to be a good father and give STBXW space and a wide berth.
