Re: the open-ended access to D8, it's the way I want it, for D8's sake, for the time being. I will not use D8 to make W feel the consequences of her actions. W is D8's mother and they both already feels the impact of this separation. I'm not going to hurt D8 just to make a point with W.
Even with this total access to D8, W still isn't here that often and D8 and I have plenty of quality father-daughter time. The girl misses her mother and she should be able to see her as often as W is willing to come around. IMO.
You need to look at this from another angle Arsene...
By asking for some advanced notice, you're giving YOURSELF time to set something else up... You're not punishing D... You're simply ending your self-inflicted punishment.
