We have a realtor coming to the house today. STBXW is up early and cleaning (finally). I make the MBR up (I am sleeping there this week), take out the trash, vacuum the stairs, clean a toilet.
My stuff gets dumped in a corner. A snide comment is made in front of my kids re: her doing all the cleaning.
A friend of mine walks into the bagel store the other day and sees STBXW talking closely to 'the bagel man'. Many here recall that, more than likely, the bagel man had 'horizontal refreshment' with her two summers ago. It doesn't sting anymore, but, I feel stupid about it.
Anyway, I have decided to speak with the kids on my own. I have been slowly letting out facts to my son:
-that the law requires that he live with his mom and we will have less time together -that I will have him for half the summer, altnerating by weeks -that I will most likely stay in the house until it is sold
He has said that he wants to live with me: "dad, maybe D6 can live with mom and I can live with you." I told him that..maybe..someday...when he is older...he can decide to do whatever he wants.
Again, S9 is going to get hurt initially. Most of his really fun playdates are with his cousin's and friends that he sees with me. They will diminish now.
So...I am waiting for the final stip. As we stand right now, we seem to be in agreement.
Stupid question...passports. She has requested to keep hold them. Does anyone see an issue with this? Should a 3rd party hold hold them?
Thanks. FIB
