Thanks Nef....I will admit it has been hard to get to this place. For example:

My W is a teacher so we have never been forced to find child care when they don't have school. Now since we are going through the D process she has essentially said that she is no longer going to care for them when it is my week to have them. So if they are out of school and it is my week I am responsible for either taking time off our making arrangements for them.

Her changing her stance really upset me at first been then when I think about it and process my emotions I realize that since it is my week there is nothing I can do to force her to take them. Spring Break is coming up and it is my week to have them. She is off all week and now I will have to take vacation time to be home with them when normally she would just watch them.

I guess unless she volunteers to take them or agrees to switch weeks (which she won't) it is just one of the consequences of D.
