Kids and I are taking a vacation with my family. We will be gone for two weeks. W agreed. She sends email asking if she could see the kids because 2 weeks is a long time. I also have the kids on the schedule for this week. So that makes 3 weeks total. She said it would be very hard for her.
I thought long and hard about it, and why I would say yes or no. I finally replied yes, let me know what date (s) work for you.
In my mind anyway, this is another step towards accceptance and just letting go and saying goodbye to arguments. For my own sanity I have to reframe her in my mind as co-parent. Not my W, just someone I co-parent with. Hurting her by not letting her see the kids for 3 weeks is not good for her or the kids.
