Next two weeks were beyond hectic and stressful. There were MILLION of things to take care of. Jimmy and I went to a lawyer and signed the papers to file. He wanted legal custody and we agreed on shared physical. Legal did not mean much to be since, like Max said, it could be changed easily if there is a reason.
We involved kids as much as we could. We explained them the process, we asked them who they wanted to live with (both parents and one night grandparents). We took time for kids to go through their toys and clothes so they make decisions on what to keep where.
Those two weeks... were not busy. I took days off work even though I was out for two weeks. I could not add work to my current stress level. Jimmy was going back and forth between "I hate you, I want you to get cancer and die" (in front of Kyra) to another extreme "Please come back and I will go to dr and take medication and will go to counseling".
I made a decision on Rosedale and for those two weeks I was packing. I had NO idea how much stuff I had to go through. 10 years of life can not be just thrown away. Stuff comes with it. A lot of sentimental stuff - clothes, kids things, my things, books, photo albums, all my scrapbooking.
We spent the last night together. We ate and played ball. From outside would not be able to tell that this family was on the verge of breaking. But it was.
We agreed that I would have the kids Wednesday 6pm to Saturday 6pm (or time I have to go to work while I work in Melting Pot), Jimmy would have them Saturday 6pm to Tuesday 6pm and his parents Tuesday 6pm to Wednesday 6pm. All of us would let kids come over to other houses if they want to.
Let the new life begin!!!!
