We see this often around here. Usually a recon is just a stay of execution because the real issues never get addressed and the LBS is always walking on egg shells waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Lot will depend on how you and your STBXW handle it.

How are my kids doing now? Honestly they are doing GREAT! Do they like going back and forth between houses? No. Do they like that their family traditions, like vacations together and restaurant meals as a family have been disrupted? No. But they do feel loved by both of us, they know that we are there for them, they have each other, and that is more than enough. Believe me it is.
