Me: "Kids mentioned going to Argentina soon?" Her: "Are you ok with it, you can trust me?" Me: "Trust is pretty low for everyone at the moment, let me think about it"
Hi JDevast,
I don't see the practical point to this exchange. To let her know the kids are telling you her plans? To work out "You misled me, so I don't trust you anymore" baggage by expressing your feelings?
I guess I'd figure out: (a) Whether you have valid concerns about your ex taking this trip, (b) what control you have over her choice, if any and (c) Propose a parallel parenting plan for less wiggly boundaries.
When I filed for D, it included a restraining order. Neither my ex nor I could cross state lines without the approval of the other parent. The final parenting plan loosened that up to not crossing international borders without approval. In my case I had legitimate concerns. My ex-wife had family in one particular country and one of her fantasy scenarios to escape stressors here was to move there and start life over. The US typically requires both parents to sign off on travel papers. I doubt that applies in your case, though.
