Bad news – I hate this whole f’ed up process. I am not happy that I only get my child 50% of the time (60/40 school year split and he has to make up the extra overnights throughout the summer and the holiday breaks) and I am sure he feels the same way but this is what he wanted, right? I did not struggle for 3 years of infertility, fight tooth and nail to have a child, to have this happen to us. I feel like I am back to day one in the grieving process. I have been very emotional the last few days.
I totally feel for you. It really is unfair! My husband says that the issue is I did nothing for him. Only for the kids. I replied that my dedication to his children was for him. He strongly refutes this. Says no, it's for them not me...and now he threatens to ask for more child custody? Plus their leaving without trying to work on the marriage is not in the children's best interest. Doesn't that count for anything? Regardless of the unfairness of it all, I am happy that the schedule will work out in your sons best interest. You really are just letting your husband play in his own sandbox and that takes so much strength. You seem to be handling everything with so much dignity and practicality. You seem blessed with a great support system as well.
