Picked up the kids for dinner tonight. Youngest said if I don't see her more she's going to find a new daddy. Oldest continues to be fearful of bad guys breaking in and mommy told her that I took all the guns out of the house, so they cannot stop bad guys. She has been talking about bad guys since I moved out. This kills me.

I've been brought to tears for the first time in 3 months.

We had a good dinner though and talked through some things. They want a trip to the beach--something we had done as a family the past few years. It seems they want normalcy.

W starts her new job in the morning. I'm proud of her. I am being nice and brought her the Xmas gift I got her. I offered my support to her.

Court hearing in in 10 days. I am feeling guilt for what I am going to do but feel it is necessary.
