She Can Have Anything and Everything

Dear Future Self: I know you are tired of your divorce and you just want it to be over. I also know that you love your kids and you work hard. But if you can just hang in there long enough to get a parenting plan instead of giving Mom all the rights to your children with no say so and no parenting time, you might be happier in the future. If your children run into issues or want to see you in the future or if you miss them and she has not been agreeable to let you see them…you will be in a quagmire. You will not really be able to do much about it. So, I doubt whether that helps now but just a note to future self. Please think about the future. Think about your children. Try and resolve the issues fairly. Go to mediation instead of litigation. Giving up is not a real good option for your future. Just give it some thought.
