Not excuses. I am trying to find the best way through this situation where, whether my W and I are ever together again or even friends, my kids have both parents in their lives equally. The only way that may be possible is via a lawyer and a battle in court. BUT, there are other options and while I may have run out of time trying to explore those I need to be sure I've turned over every stone before I go down that route.
I already plan to stop asking my W's permission for things with the kids. I am TELLING her I am picking my D6 up from her school this week. I may also TELL her I am going to spend the afternoon with my D4 at her school on Thursday. That is a big change in this sitch and one not likely to be taken very well by her but there's also nothing she can do about it. She is going to start to learn very quickly that she does not have all the control in this. It may hurt my chance at a R but my kids want their Dad with them so I'm going to do everything I can to give them that, no matter what my W does.
