Yeah, the daily phone calls were pretty much for US and not her. The problem with changing that is it's the status quo. Upsetting the apple cart in the middle of a custody case just seems like a bad idea, no matter how much I'd like to change it at this point. The good news about the morning call is it happens in the car on the way to school, so it's not really disruptive--her evening call is fall more intrusive.
I know I've got support and backup. Lots of it, though most of it lives far away (I have no family except D locally). I have some good friends locally, though not many who have gone through this.
XW wanted to take D tomorrow. I said "schedule says she's with me me even years" and the response I got was, "Whatever. The parenting plan and coparentng is only useful when it's convenient for you. Gotcha!"
