I'm obviously very concerned. My focus is not on DBing, it's on fighting for my children. I know she can't stand the thought of being without her kids for more than a couple of weekends a month. I find that unfair and unacceptable.

However, I have no way of knowing how things will go and neither does she. How do I keep hope alive for a R at this point? Is it even worth me putting forth the effort, or do I accept that things could never be repaired at this point. I know standing up and fighting back for the sake of my children is the right thing to do.

If I'm successful in getting 50/50 or something close to it. She will likely never embrace a good relationship between us. If I lose, she will have what she wants, but resent me for the fight and probably never embrace a good R between us. What appeared to be a win/win stance, now appears to be a lose/lose sitch for me.

I have never felt more hopeless about our M as I do today. I would like to hear any advice about DBing, moving forward, and if I've done the right thing or made a mistake that really sets me back.

Thanks
