Thanks, but I don't think it is as sad as it is stupid. On the other hand I think kids also want to know that they are worth fighting for especially from their parents. It is different when it is just game of power tripping by one person or the other, but different just when you are fighting to keep them part of your life.
My oldest told me tonight that his mom told him that she thinks my chances of keeping them are very good. Either she is coming to terms with her decision or she has something up her sleeve. Not sure which.
