And I'd hold off on sending any emails to W until the end of this week....it is a MAJOR decision that will impact you and the kids. W can wait a bit longer!
We truly, truly want you to see that 100 people here DO see that going for FULL custody is the BEST choice for the kids. 100:1 are pretty strong odds here, Scorp. We all are urging you to step back and really re-think your stance on the 50/50 custody. Why? Because it is based on fear. When people make choices based on fear, the outcome is usually 99% unfavorable. I am sure that you probably made some awful choices in the past that were based on fear, right?
To nearly all of us, it's a no-brainer. If I may suggest, if I were you, I'd discuss options from the FULL custody angle with L. It is my sense that you haven't fully explored what entails requesting FULL custody with your L. Right or wrong?
