I know people say to think positive, but I don't think planning for the worst is a bad idea.
Better to be prepared and pleasantly surprised of a good outcome...
... then get sideswiped.
I agree. I tend to be easily thrown off-guard when I'm not prepared for the worst. Maybe it lends to the doormat effect.
And speaking of which, I do wonder what I'd have to do if my wife does agree to the custody terms (in the context of if I move to SC). That means I'll have to back the talk and walk the walk. However, it's really hard to find work similar to mine over there. I've been scouting out for the past 3 months, so I hope things will pick up soon in terms of options.
Also, I had an amazing time in Santa Cruz with our son yesterday. Hope we have a chance to revisit that place real soon; we couldn't get enough of the rides!
