No, you cant go COMPLETELY dark while you have kids.

But how much contact do you need? I would say in general, there is a difference between logistical, business-like communication and friendly banter. The latter you can clearly cut out.

How old are the kids? Whats your detailed plan for the schedule? It sounds like it was difficult to develop - is it set? That will help us give some advice.


two kids D-12 S-5. As for as contact, the only plan my wife has suggested is that she come by the house after she gets off of work and spends time with kids at our house...i don't know if this will actually happen because everything out of her mouth the last month has been either a lie or a fake commitment. Her relationship with our D has been rocky throughout this whole ordeal because she doesn't spend time with the kids, either she's not home or on the couch watching tv
