WAW Using God III

[pigskin]

Update:

Basically had to set up a recurring weekly meeting with my L to get him to get his butt in gear on the paperwork, but it's finally in my hands, revised a couple of times, and just needs one last review by me before sending it to my W. So hopefully everything will be relatively smooth and all this will be behind me soon.

Christmas was great, although my W basically hosed me on an agreement we'd made regarding when I got the kids. I wanted to maintain status quo as much as possible, which meant going to Christmas Eve mass, but W kept them too long for us to make it and we had to go on Christmas Day. She basically exploited a loophole in our agreement (I gave a window of time when the kids should be dropped off Christmas Eve and she honored the window but not the spirit of the agreement).

She told me ahead of time that she would not be dropping the kids off in time for us to make church. I wasn't too happy about that, and we argued about it when I dropped the kids off with her earlier in the week. At which point she kicked me out of her apartment.

I suppose it is a good thing to see these behaviors ahead of time so that I am not complacent in writing up our legal documents. I have to anticipate her stunts and ensure wording is included to preempt them.

After Christmas I took the kids up to see their mom's parents. My W chose to spend Christmas with the OM rather than her parents. While I couldn't fathom doing that if my parents were still alive, to each his own I guess. I'm sure they were thrilled about that. At least my in-laws still treat me the same as always.
