For the most part, the post up above was a diatribe intended to help prepare me for the worst.
Yes, I do still agree that the most time a child can spend with both parents is the best for them. I hope my post above didn't come across that I thought my presence in my kids' lives wasn't important. I'm just thinking about how I can be the best father I can be, in the event of the worst scenario.
I had a conversation with an aunt today who said something that made complete sense to me.
Basically it was, the court will decide what it decides. My W won't be happy, no matter what the decision and will blame me. And that I should just stand aside and wait for the dust to settle and then just be the best I can in that situation.
I am taking everything that you've said in and when D day comes... I will be as prepared as I can be to show my best side and ask the courts to decide for the best possible outcome for the kids...
I'm just trying to prod my W along so we can just get this done and get it over with... I'm ready to deal with whatever the result may be...
