Hey Burgbud, my sister's visit went well, we had a lot of fun.
You're right. If this kind of thing gets me spun up then I will be spun up much of the time. I know it's supposed to be better than this, or at least I sure hope so.
I know that every M has it's share of ups and downs and that nothing is ever perfect and often, things don't happen like you think they should. But my M just doesn't have enough of the good stuff to keep us going through the bad. Over the years, there have been enough incidents for me to realize that M doesn't have to be this way. I wish things were different, but it seems that we'll never get out of the power struggles. I believe this is the end of the road for us. I've told H if we can agree on custody, I'll give him exclusive use of the house and I will try to be out by the first of the year. I hope to be able to sit down with him tonight and draft our separation agreement, which will likely be sparse. I mostly want to get the joint custody agreed to....the material items can be worked out anytime.
