Starsky: Sorry, I always seem to miss your replies. Not sure where they go but I usually see them after reviewing later. As far as "How's that working for you?" The answer is... "as expected." I only wait for mediation and D.

25: You asked if they are both my Ds. The answer is: legally yes, biologically, D13 is from my W's previous R. Regarding their physical safety, I am relatively confident. Their emotional safety? Not so much. In this matter, I would have to involve the police or child and family services. The kids will be emotionally affected, no matter what. I only provide a more stable, dare I say "mature" (or as we like to say "taking the high road") environment for the kids.

I just want to point out, as my W admitted in a more recent email, that she was not as "open" to my access to the kids in the past. Therefore, when a choice to have me watch over the kids because of a lack of baby sitters in W's pocket, she would choose to leave the kids to their own design, under the "watchful" eye of FS16.

While I did state to W much earlier in sitch that I would take the kids as often as I could, W would rather not hand the kids over to me because she was "going to party and stay out all night". She is very private about that in her life, with regards to me. The only reason I know these times happen is because either W is "naive" and thinks I won't find out, or W doesn't care that I find out, after the fact. Either way, W would never tell me before hand so that I could offer / demand to have the kids.
