X demands full custody because I'm now engaged

[sleeper]

The sitch with X and custody is going well, Forward. I have heard no more of the subject from X. I believe a L told her she had no grounds and the C she took kids to for the later stated purpose of "us working this out" may have told her there's a boundary she needs to accept.

I have experienced a greater degree of separation through the experience as I am no longer as flexible or available in regards to co-parenting. That's always been a difficult boundary for me as I am devoted to my kids and have done things for their sake that also benefitted X.

X is a very selfish person. Maybe she always was and I didn't notice because I loved hr and I'm a self-sacrificing kind of guy.

Relationship with kids is better than before. I think her antics confused them for a while but they're centered now. DD, who said she wanted to live with X a few months ago, now seeks me out when on X's time to give me hugs. DS and I are closer than ever.

I have a new supervisor at work (might as well have changed jobs) and my mother who I moved to a retirement home is losing her sight (happens in her family in their 80's) but I still have a job and my mother (and my kids their Na Na).

I can't complain. :-)
