Still trying to save my family - part 11

[Scorp7]

Thanks again, I appreciate all of your feedback.

My W has been emailing me fairly steadily over the last few days. It's mainly dealing with splitting the summer holidays. She sent me a proposed schedule that splits the summer quite evenly with the kids being with us each for roughly 10 days at a time. I do think this is progress for sure despite her insistence to send emails through her mother.

I've again told her I am relocating to her area. She is asking in her latest email about where I will be living even though I've told her several times that I will live close enough for our kids to stay in their current schools. I have been giving her a lot of info on my plans, wouldn't it make sense to ask about her plans as well?

I also reiterated my idea of sharing the kids 50/50 during the school year. She hasn't responded to that directly so I will ask her flat out if she will agree to it. I think she knows if she doesn't agree that she is in for a long court battle so I'm hopeful the trend of her being reasonable will continue.

I may be wrong, I do feel that I'm leading things a lot more now. I agree AK, my being a strong, goal oriented leader is what attracted my W to me for sure. I think I can still be that guy and at the same time be willing to go along with her desire to live close to her parents.

The big issue with where we will live is that in order for the kids to be brought back to my province my W would either have to agree to do it or I would have to win in court to have them brought back. If she will agree to 50/50 over there then I will go with that over a long court battle to have the kids brought back here that is less and less likely to succeed with each passing day.

I am sticking to my guns about 50/50, I will not back down on that one. I plan to buy an acreage over there to give my kids the life in the country that they deserve. I'm going to start my band up again as well. It has to take a back seat to my kids, beyond that I can keep it going from over there. My work and business have been very supportive of my making the move. If I can work from home when the kids are with me I will be able to be all the more present in their lives which is great all the way around.
