Stuck between a hard place and the biggest rock.

[theUF]

I need her to agree to give me S every other week in January.

I wouldn't try to go for 50/50 straight away Bruce. It's a huge step and a terrifying one for her. I would try to work my way up. I would only try to go for it straight away if it was the only option.

Although I worked more than I should have, I've changed diapers, fed, played with, bathed etc my child since day one.
A couple weeks back I even got the impression my X thought too much of my focus was on S now(a bit mindreading).

But the first time I mention working our way up to 40/60(or something like that) she had a small meltdown. She was terrified. Cried and fought. Even told me to choose my battles with care, LOL.
And we were on pretty good terms at that point, which you and you're W seems not to be.

A father deserves to be with his child, but it's a delicate issue.
