Do I just walk away and be happy with what W "gives" me, regarding access to the kids? Because when I do that, I come across as, for all intents and purposes, abandoning the kids. I'm not talking about how I appear in the public eye, though. This is about ME and the KIDS. This is about what's right for the kids!
By no means should you sacrifice your time with the kids in order to "DB". BUT, you just need to be able to have that discussion with your W WITHOUT anger. A meeting with a mediator might be a good idea.

NO!
Like I said, you should fight for time with your kids, it's just how you do it. If you do it with anger and emotion, it will backfire. If you do it calmly and without anger, your chances of success increase.
Like I said, if you and your W cannot come up with a reasonable plan on your own, I suggest you and your W meet with a mediator and see what you can work out.
DON'T sacrifice your time with the kids.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
