I think W finally realized that I DO have an atty. She's been awful agreeable over the last couple days regarding visitation and the upcoming holiday. We were able to agree to a Christmas week schedule that works for both of us (that does NOT exclude me from Christmas...or her, plus it gives S a chance to see her family as well and provides a balance.

The atty said if she does anything sketchy like not return S, then just call 911, then call her (the atty).

I'm thinking this is going to work out better than I expected. I'll probably still end up with 50/50 custody (unless W does something stupid), but with me as the main conservator.

Honestly, as long as I can guarantee that S is safe, that's the important thing. I'm pretty positive that W still wants to play her games...and that's fine. At least I have some legal backing now and can make sure she can't just mess up our S.

So far, still stressful...but getting better. S and I got some family Christmas pics done yesterday...just him and I. We had a good time. He's starting to get more comfortable with the fact that he lives with me, and I do make sure that I let him know that he's loved (by me and W). There's also a chance that she will be at our place Christmas morning to watch him open his gifts, which is good for S. And yes, I plan to record all of it.

So...good things! Moving forward!
