So. Early this year in the spring I announced to my husband that I wanted to separate and get a divorce.
I filed paperwork to get a custody order signed by a judge to have something legally binding as far as travel outside the state goes.
Well I rescinded that paperwork. Because our court date landing during an underway and his command couldn't decide whether or not they wanted to allow him to stay behind to go to court. I just cancelled it rather than not taking off the time from work and risking being in contempt on a motion I got started. (Getting time off work without advanced notice is hard.)
He'll be changing commands in the spring so I guess I'm waiting until then. Scheduling and rescheduling court dates seems like a hassle.
Anyway. He's frequently going out on underways. This last one was 22 days.
My daughter STRUGGLED. She missed her father so much. She cried and she cried and then she just went numb and told me he wasn't coming back at all.
It gives pause. This is right for me but is it right for her? Happy/healthy parents is supposed to equal good childhood right?
