2 days a month, no holidays or school vacations, and I feel like a stranger in their lives. Trial 8/21 may change visitation, but lawyer is not even optimistic. I'm having a really hard time emotionally coping with seeing my kids so little. I am also overcome by anger over the fact that stbx wants to "have his cake and eat it too" - he wants child support but doesn't want any visitation (even objected to the 2 days a month I have now!)
I really wanted to move on from my husband and I am trying to make a better life for myself. But I shouldn't have to "move on" from my children!!! Even if for no other reason, THEY deserve to see their mother and siblings and want to!
I don't know how to cope with this. Had I known I would completely lose my children, I would have just tolerated my jerk stbx and been miserable until they turned 18. I thought the minimum a fit parent with no criminal record, substance abuse, or child abuse history would at LEAST get 2 weekends (overnight) per month and shared holidays and school breaks. Instead, all I am is an ATM machine for my stbx and stranger to my children. And at the time I left, stbx promised joint physical custody and I believed his lies.
If anyone has been through this or knows how to cope, thank you for your help.
