FG -- yeah, it's odd, but everything about her seems odd to me, now.

Yesterday I signed our parenting plan in front of a notary public and, with that, signed away half of my children's remaining childhoods. I tell myself I'm fortunate, that a huge number of really good men and fathers get far less time with their children than I will, but man did it hurt to do it. She's filing today and may even be doing it right now, as I post this. The state won't recognize the end of our marriage until early June, but it ended for me when I signed that horrible parenting plan and gave it to her.

I took my ring off when I signed, and I won't ever put it back on again. I wore it 6,374 days.
