The BIG D and its Path of Destruction - Part 2

[LITB]

Where are the kids throughout this?

On July 15th, I was ordered by the Judge to send them to New Mexico to be with their mother by the following day. I sent them 2 days later as my mom accompanied them.

Who is watching them?

They are in my W’s care. While she is at work, they go to camp.

While she was out here for the hearing, they stayed with my W’s Goddaughter and the MIL. Quite the 1-2 combo. The Goddaughter is known to use drugs, however my W is in denial of it. The MIL is not healthy enough for my comfort.

I did bring up the Goddaughter’s substance abuse in mediation. Of course the W got defensive. She fired off a missile about me, my response, “This is about the best interest of our children”. The mediator intervened.

It seems that you are conducting yourself with class and dignity and at the end of the day it is all we can do

Thanks 2step. I appreciate it.

You know, I thought I was done with my R to my W. I had detached myself really well while I hadn’t seen her, however after seeing her this past week, my feelings are very strong for her. I’d be willing to put forth the effort to work things out with her if she decided that she wanted to.

I’m going to climb back on the DB’ing wagon and see where it leads. In the meantime, I have to move forward with this custody evaluation, which is a bit intimidating TBH. I know that it is in the best interest of our children and that is the bottom line.
