Paige, I don't know if I've ever commented on your sitch, but it is one I've kept up with. Like so many of the ladies on here, you inspire me with your strength and grace. You are an excellent mother; every decision you make seems to be with your children's best interests in mind and never fueled by emotion. I hope you give yourself credit for the way you have handled things.

Your husband dumped a lot on you to think about - birthdays, holidays, etc., and I think it's because you shook him up by filing. Thinking about all those things is totally overwhelming and not what you need to be worrying with. When he tries to bring up the subject again, I'd suggest that he send his proposed visitation schedule to your lawyer and you'd go from there. Leave the worrying with schedules, etc to your lawyer and spend this time connecting with your children and taking care of yourself.

Paige, you did what you had to do to take care of your children and yourself. That is so very admirable. Keep up the excellent work!
