Brave Little Gerda Faces the Cutting Winds

[Rita]

sjohn, thank you for posting this. I read it with great interest but also with a little horror. Sometimes the thought of getting this used to two households makes me so horrified! I know it will be good for me to have some peace, I am thinking how lucky I will be though if this custody agreement being discussed now goes through, it's pretty minimal.

I am just so curious as to why your D doesn't ask to stay with you more of the time. She is old enough to choose now. I hated my MLC mom as a teen, but the only thing I could think of (my dad had zero custody and really no set visitation, which is odd but it was long ago when rules were different, and my mom really poisoned us against him) was to go and live with my grandparents in another state. I thought about doing this a lot but I never did.
