I did something to my page and I can't get figure out how to get it back...I can't quote, change fonts or color. It would be easier to reply to this.

Sorry you're stressed. I know you this is a tough week for you. Try not to worry about being the bad guy, I'm guessing the court has a formula to determine child support, as long as your kids are taken care of than you're doing your job. YOU should be able to have a life, nice she can afford to plan a vacation.

My brother went thru a pretty ugly divorce and a couple of years ago he brought his kids here to visit (WI to FL). He didn't have much money and I suggested he drive because it would be a lot less expensive than 4 plane tix. One of his things was wanting to take his kids on a plane for their first time (before his xw did.) In retrospect I'm not sure it really mattered to the kids, but it did to my brother. Your kids are young, you have plenty of time to make memories of your own with them, I'm guessing your son won't remember it as his first plane ride anyway.

I truly do understand you wanting to listen to your "old brain," I struggle everyday not saying something to my H, it's ok to want to do that, as long as you don't (right now) because you know it won't move you in a positive direction.

I know you mentioned something about losing your sense of fashion. Go buy yourself a new outfit (ask a sales girl for help) and make sure to look your best next time you see her.

You're doing great M! Remember, focus on the process, not the outcome.
