Hi bug! You are the master! You always help guide me where I seem to be wwlking next. I don't have a plan yet. My D16 is extremely stressed thst she'll be forced to overnight. I have contacted my L to make sure thst kids do have a right to say that no if they wish.

I know that j fought for my M. I feel good thst I did. You are right. Holding onto the rest is not good and I suspect it would make me bitter. I don't want that.

I am gojng to think on your words and come up with actions to work on a happy path forward for me and my kids.

I did tell my s12 today that I was hapy he'd be getting time wjth mom overnights. I also told him that he should never tolerate trash talk from either of us for any reason and to speak up that he wants it to stop or he will call and ask to go home. He felt good about that ground rule.
