WHG: And Alice goes down the rabbit hole...

[workinghardguy]

I get to see them about once a week right now... SS a bit more because he belong to volunteer organization like I do. W doesn't keep them from me, we have good and open comms about that. It's just a scheduling thing really.

When W went after XH for more CS after she moved out of my house he came back with sharing the kids 50/50 instead of paying much, much more in support. Foolishly my W agreed to that instead of digging in a fighting him. Now she regrets that decision very much. When she told me about it I thought she was nuts, but kept my mouth shut. Not my place now. So now her XH has them two nights a week one week and five nights a week the next. Of the two weeknights my W has them I usually have them one night anyway because W works until late in the evening.

The last weekend my W had them I was out of town all weekend (with SS) and this next weekend it's the same thing (again though with SS). So it's just really that there's only so much time in a given week.

Down the road W is scheduled to go to mediation with XH. I'm fairly certain that's not going to bear any fruit so then they'll have to go the Guardian Ad Litem route. Once all of that is done I'm pretty confident that SS and SD will end up with W during the week and every other weekend. XH lives almost an hour away and every morning he is driving them in to town and dropping them off with my W. That suxx for the kids. Plus they have no real chance to be in sports, co-curriculars, clubs, etc... since they have to leave town by 4pm two to three nights a week to get to his house for supper, etc.. It's just stupid.

But I'm odd man out in this conversation so I have to wait and watch, and try to send them my love whenever I get the chance.

They don't have cell phones at their dad's but do at mom's. Then again 50% of the time when they're at mom's they're with me. SD doesn't use email yet since she's only 9.

Just frustrating.
