Thank you for the sentiments. He does do this frequently. Our children together are nine and 11. The courts and both our parties agreed to the terms during our divorce. The law is on my side, but this is my situation in this moment.
Not in his defense, he picked them up two weeks late and may now be trying to make up for his tardiness. His behaviors will reflect on the final custody decree as the court sees fit. It is therefore a waste of time for me to get too upset.
I called one of those crisis talk lines last night for moral support. This was an excellent avenue as I felt tremendously better after speaking with the counselor/student. I knew I would be too upset to sleep, so, as he suggested, I distracted myself. I went to the beach with my eldest daughter and a couple of our friends. It was very fun and relaxing!
I am off to the courthouse now to collect official paperwork to begin working on my case against his actions.
