Confusing thoughts…..I refuse to allow my W to take the kids with her part time if she got a place of her own. She brings it up a lot. I feel that this is the best option for our kids in the short term but I’m not sure it’s the best option for our M in the long term. She will not leave without them as it looks bad if things turn into a custody dispute. I have no intention of that happening.
Here’s the rub…my wife needs space. What if not allowing her to get a place and take the kids with her part time keeping her from what she needs to get her head straight? Would letting her take the kids out of the house for a few days at a time be better for them in the long run if that time saved our M? If I knew for certain it would obviously be an easy call. So few things are certain. I don’t want to get my kids in the middle of this but is a short term sacrifice worth a long term goal?
