It sounds like you've got a really fun weekend planned. I wish I was doing a 10k walk, that sounds awesome. Have fun!
I still feel strongly that the girls need one place to call home.
I felt this way too when I was contemplating D. I eventually realized though, that although H and I were getting along horribly and he was treating me poorly, he was still a good Dad and our kids still worshipped the ground he walked on. I could not take that away and I knew it. For me, 50/50 custody was the least of all evils for my kids and to telly myself any different (that they needed one home, etc) was merely justification for taking his kids away from him.
Every situation is different though and in your case, your W walked out on you and the kids. I'm not sure what that means, but it's definitely different than my situation. You're in my thoughts and I hope you and WAW are able to come to an agreement before it goes to court.
