I'm afraid that by telling my W I'm going to do something that she hasn't agreed to she will cut my contact off from my kids entirely. She's done it before. It seems in some ways that she has lightened up a tiny bit in general, it's all been on her terms though for the most part. If her lightening up is a trend that will continue then perhaps in time she'll agree to what I've been proposing to her.

By telling her I'm keeping the kids for a week she may just decide to withhold them from me entirely. It may also lead to her getting a custody order right away as well.

Like eric said, what if, what if, what if....

I don't want to do anything to make things worse.
