So.....what ended up happening with the X-mas schedule for the girls?
Hey Heather, I hope you had a merry Christmas.
DD's were with me on Christmas eve. We went to my parents for dinner and to open gifts. Later we went to church and then home.
The 3 of us opened gifts on Christmas morning and then went to church. WAW picked up DD's after church and took them to the apt. I picked up DD's @3 to take them back to my parents for Christmas dinner. I took them back to apt at 7:30 so WAW could take them to her parents'. Ironically, my parents gave me new ping-pong paddles for Christmas.
The mood of WAW as changed since the attorney that I retained filed a motion that the suit be dismissed b/c WAW & I signed a "Separation Agreement" that she downloaded from the 'Net b4 she moved out. The agreement says that b4 we go to court about anything, we have to go to mediation. WAW's attorney answered saying that WAW should not be held accountable to this b/c she did it w/o legal review. HA HA HA! This is the document that she wanted and the only reason I signed it was b/c it was the only way I was sure that I was going to get support $.
WAW has sent me a few emails saying: If we come to an agreement then we won't have to go to court. Going to court is going to be expensive. etc. etc. etc.
I think that she is starting to wake up and smell the coffee. Everything is not going to go the way she wants and everything is not going to happen in the time frame that she wants.
I think that I am beginning to find the right distance from being the whimpering door mat where I just might be able to turn this thing around.
B4 Christmas D13 hugged me and said "I want you to be happy this Christmas Dad. I know it will be hard, but I want you to be happy." I hugged her tight and said, "I'll be happy just having you here and being happy." D15 who is not normally all lovey-dovey has begun to hug me more often since this custody nonsense started.
