In the UK - PT 18 'Dark O'Clock'

Yup. In XW's last 3 communications with me she has mentioned two items each time: 1) that it's hard on the kids to go back and forth so much and if there are ways we can reduce that it would be good for them (50% custody starts 6/9), 2) that she could handle them more in the summer if I need help, she's happy to do that.

In other words, yeah I've got 50% starting, but if I don't want to enforce that it's ok with her. And of course I'm inconveniencing the kids if I 'make them go back and forth'.

I don't respond to any of this. I just reply to what demands a reply and keep moving. But of course I feel absolutely zero sympathy for her as she unanimously made the choice to break up the family, and the fact is that adjusting to a broken home and mom's new boyfriend that was sleeping over before she was D when they didn't know his name is a lot more troubling to them than seeing their damn dad.

I used to be angry, but it is so over the top it is almost funny. It's like watching a horror movie that would be scary, only the characters are doing such stupid things you can't even suspend your disbelief and it goes from scary to funny. "Jim, the killer is out there somewhere, let's leave the house and go find him, we should split up and head off in separate directions into the woods..."

WAS's are so selfish-spewy-illogical-nasty that it goes from being upsetting to being absurd. These days I just eye-roll to myself, thank the lord above I am single, and play some online chess. Nothing like the Grand Prix attack in bullet to burn the opponents clock down...
