BTW, just got a copy of the mediator's report from my L- the recommendation is 50/50 joint legal and physical custody, so very pleased about that. Got to run for now. How are you doing?
REally happy for you and your kids, BJ. I know this must be a huge relief and very well deserved. How is the W taking it?
Hope,
My W did not take it well at first- she said several very nasty things to me, told me I would fail, kids would be miserable etc. but things have settled down a little bit since then. I don't know at this point if she will try to challenge the mediator's recommendation or not- I would hope not.
So, for the moment, I am relieved and feel that it makes the most sense for our kids. My W does not understand my feelings about the physical custody issue with the kids and may never- or at least not for a while. That is OK- I'm a survivor of D as a kid, she is not, and I understand the importance of having both parents sharing co-parenting duties.
