In about a month I'll be stepping up to a full balanced schedule with the kids. I'm excited because I worked so hard to get to this point, but also a little nervous because it's a lot on my plate with remote schooling.
The holidays were great and things overall are good.
My D is dragging on and on, and will continue to do so for awhile. There are a lot of issues at hand that are still irritating, but they will get resolved eventually and the slow pace is outside my control. My X has been caught in a flat-out lie recently, and it points to what I would call her flexibility with the facts (when "the ends justify the means"). She used to do this in our MR from time to time, when dealing with other people. Never blatantly, and always in a way where she can keep spinning the narrative and defending herself. It's something I am extremely wary of, and probably always will be.
I have gotten a lot of flak (email, texts) from my X the past month about various issues. Lots of emotional bait, allegations that I don't have the kids' best interests in mind, etc. Always around something my X wants for herself. I mostly ignore or just respond firmly but professionally (like a business interaction).
I still pop in from time to time here, mostly in a passive role. I think I have a skewed perspective at this point and don't want to lead people in any direction.
