Hey guys. Vacation is going pretty well. Getting a lot of help from my Mom and family.

D got a bit dehydrated and overtired on Monday. She felt really bad on Tue morning and wouldn't eat or drink anything. I finally had to make her sit up and drink some powerade. at that point she was really missing W and so was I. I started to well-up tears thinking about her, but managed to kick that back pretty quickly.

Apparently, W is expecting the placement of the kids to remain as it is now, which is what she told her sister. We have to go to mediation for the kids placement on 8/23. Should I ask her before then why she is trying to keep my kids from me? I know she is doing it for herself, because she will be miserable without them. I just don't know if I should approach her on the subject sooner.

I am planning to consult today with my atty about what we will do if she doesn't agree to shared placement in mediation.

Doing well in general, but still feeling down sometimes.
