Got here late... but I'm here now.

Thanks Azzork,

I'm going to head out in a few hours to buy some flowers for my girls then off to the airport. I'm sure MIL will be there looking at me like she has a turd in her mouth. It will be really tough for me not to say anything to her about her recent comments. I really miss my girls and want to show them that I am the strong, confident dad that I have always been and not the mess of a man I have been since BD. This really came out of the blue and hit me very hard. They don't know what happened to cause the split but they have said "daddy, I don't know what you did but it must have been something really bad for mommy to do this". How do I even begin to counter this? I am sure this has a lot to do with MIL and what W has been saying. Job #1 is to restore and build better than ever my R with D's. I am a great dad, always have been and now want to be better than ever. As for W, I have realized she hit some sort of MLC, pre-meno, depression or something. She use to adore me prior to this and then boom. She was very worried after BD about finances until she met with L. Now she has this air of empowerment and revenge. She is out for blood and wants custody of the kids, she wants to decide when I see them, she expects me to drive them around when its not convenient for her or to events that she doesn't want to go to, she wants full child support (no problem), she wants spousal (alimony) AND special expenses (school, tutor). She will bleed me dry and I wont have enough $$ to live let alone enjoy any time I have with my girls by taking them nice places.
