Hi Scott,

If it’s not already in your divorce / custody agreement, consider adding that the kids may call (or video call) either parent at any time. My kids can “see” either of their parents anytime they want to.

You’ve been doing a great job finding your groove.

At some point it gets smoother. I spent a week with my kids celebrating Christmas by chopping down a tree, baking cookies, shopping for gifts, watching movies, etc. Now I’m spending a week visiting 5 national parks, 2 with my gf and 3 solo.

My marriage with my ex-wife is over. Our relationships with and responsibilities towards our kids endure.
