Thank you both for your words. It's 7:55 am here, and I already know the outcome. It's lawyers, it's courts, it's ugly and bitter.
I'm disappointed, but not surprised. I have been trying to be rational with an irrational person. My efforts ceased this morning. From this point, my lawyer will speak for me, and after everyone has spent an enormous amount of money that none of us have, the end result is the children lose out.
Time, they say, heals all wounds. In all honesty, I'm really getting sick of "time". Right now, I don't have enough of it, but in a week, I'm going to have entirely too much (meaning not much else will happen for about 4 to 5 months after the emergency hearing for support and custody).
I never wanted this. I did everything I could to stop this, to repair our relationship, to be a man for her. By the time I found out things were truly wrong, she had already made up her mind. It is the way of things, and I can accept that. What I cannot accept is that she wishes me to be "punished" for choices she made.
It will be what it will be. All I can do now is prepare for the storm and do all I can to protect the children and myself.
