Trying to move on

[awest1217]

It sounds like you are getting exactly what you wanted so that is a good thing. Of course, it is still a horrible situation, but it is awesome that W is willing to work with you and you didn't have to fight for what you want. On the girls, a word of warning from a teacher standpoint. It is best school wise if they have one house they go to every school day because otherwise you have one routine for schoolwork and W might have another and well...the work doesn't get done. Like I said this is just from being a teacher and seeing this happen to many students. It is funny, but now you have to work with W more than ever when it comes to school, especially with joint physical custody because you want to make sure the girls are getting the same routine both places and getting all work done. You should also notify the school once you have a plan because they might send home two sets of paperwork to notify both of you of what is going on at school, projects due, important dates, etc.

Hope everything continues to work out, and with an agreement you can move on with your life like you would like. I do agree with your friend's wife a little, especially since you know she has been crying, there is some change of heart, maybe if you see an opening, letting W know you still don't want this might be good.

Have a great week!
