Sparks - I hear ya. I don't like the loneliness and occasional isolation, especially at night before bed.
UPDATE 6pm It's been a quiet few days on the relationship front, which has given me more pause about preparing myself in case my wife files for an uncontested divorce and does end up in another state for her hospital residency. As some of you know, she plans to take our son with her, and I'm not cool with that, but don't exactly want to bring her to court over joint custody, even if it's just mediation. It just ain't right.
I have been busting my head over this. My wife has been very cooperative in terms of our parenting plan for our son right now, and for me to turn around and contest for a far joint custody of our son...I don't know what to do or say. I've been trying to imagine how the dialog will go. If my wife does file in June (or sooner) I have only a month under California law to respond.
