Totally agree with everything you said, it was more a case of me venting than anything else with regard to the puppies having any accidents while training and her immediate negative reaction.
Love the little guys and know, in the long term, they will be happier and healthier with me than with someone who has completely changed their perspective (MLC) in less than 12 months.
We have a younger son who is an explosive child and the puppies provide a stabilizing source of unceasing love when he is struggling (or old dog used to do the same before we knew what an explosive child was). Often times, they are the only thing he can anchor to during the bad times.
Choices is a great way to look at it. They have to be my choices, not our choices, and that is a difficult thing to accept after 17 years of marriage.
DBing is WAY more difficult than I ever thought. The constant changing (mostly negative) is almost impossible to believe. Ever decreasing interactions are also very surprising when, at the very least, you would expect her to want to co-parent. I know now that it is "to be expected" but wow, so different.

Marital problems are scientifically found to be one of the greatest stresses we will ever face. You got that right my friend. PS> A big reason I chose to better w/ my dog was my S. Good move man. It was your choice and sounds like you chose correctly.

Has anyone ever experienced a situation where you establish a visitation schedule for the children and the WW just ignores it completely? In this case, I am talking about not seeing the kids at all and missing many weeks where she was supposed to be hosting them at her place.
Is this part of the "script"? How did you handle it (or ignore it)?

Document it - very carefully especially if you can document the agreement. Getting into a p@ssing match with WW just gets everyone wet and stinky.

NVBH - Kind of. When WW was still in my home, before I knew of the A, she blatantly ignored our S4 and left me all alone with him for many days at a time which was part of what clued me into the A (You do not have an A listed in your sig? not happening?). So as for your advice - Andrew P nailed it:

Also, so I don't re-invent the wheel here. Read my thread "fight for self" There is a ton of general information I have posted there, including things about the WAW ignoring the kids. Also, you never answered if you read all of Cadet's HW assignments - did you? Because if you did, you would have encountered the tome that Sandi has been kind enough to script for everyone here, and that stuff certainly includes answers to your questions as well. Her stuff is from personal experience, my stuff is from research into the subject matter itself. Either way or with both, you will gain some insight - but you gotta read this site dude, you gotta read this site. You have entered into a place that the DB/DR books do not open doors to on their own.

Is the visitation schedule an official document agreed upon officially by both parties? If WW is completely ignoring it, document those violations.
The question is "How do you handle/ignore it?"
