First of all, I am SO SORRY you are here. BTDT. My heart goes out to you.

I need to handle this with as much composure, grace and compassion as I have in me. So far, so good. Custody is both pivotal in my future as a Mom and as a factor in reconciliation if that were ever to happen. I can't be sure that a calm, compassionate custody agreement will lead to a reconciliation, but I can be sure that a heated custody battle will NOT. So, I need to be open and honest as much as possible to prevent that battle from ensuing.
Do you have a good attorney, or are you trying to do this yourself? This, your quote above, worries me for you. Call me cynical, call me crass... we all KNOW that I can roar out of the gate. But honey. ALL BETS ARE OFF at this point, and don't be, please... do not be naive. The reason I say this is... this man can PUSH your buttons, he can get to you like no on this planet. He can GUILT you into almost anything. And all you are worried about are your kids.
I shouldn't even be talking about this on a board committed to saving marriages.
