I disagree with your justification on wanting to keep your kids most of the time. That is what best for you, not necessarily for your children. My WAW is doing the same thing with my children by not allowing me to have the kids overnights at my place.
As a father that never wanted this to happen it hurts tremendously to think that one parent would restrict access due to someone not wanting to be alone.
Currently she is "allowing " me to see my children for 2 hours at her place every, Tues, Thurs, Friday , and I can take them to my place on Sundays. I drive 4 hours a week to have this privilege.
I agree that having 2 loving parents in one dwelling is the ideal setting. As for people going through our situation a new reality has to be set forth. That includes children spending equal time with both parents.
Your doing great by the way! Real strong and with a caring soul.
