Just so you know, somehow we figured out and worked out that I would call the kids every day...
And it took a LOOONG time for my W to figure out that I didn't want to talk with her... and THAT made her pissy... whatever...
Finally... she'd start letting the kids answer the phone when I called... but at the start of THAT stage... she'd let the kids answer and talk, and then she'd tell me thing THROUGH the kids... or she get in the middle of the convo and start talking and I'm thinking "woman, this is my dime, here..."
So... in the end, i talked to the kids... mostly only...
which brings us to me moving 50 miles away and summer happening...
yeah... no phone calls cause kids are busy and out, W's got them booked all over the place...
It hurts... it really hurts when someone else has complete control over access to your kids... and you think you will do ANYTHING to remove that restriction...
The only tool you have right now is your brain...
and a smooth voice...
clear, concise, nothing to get her rise up. Want to tell her something? Use email. When you call, she picks up, let her say whatever, then as soon as possible ask for kids.
And be prepared for a lot of hangups while the two of you work through this...
