Well, it's 3 am and I'm laying here wide awake because ex-H emailed me tonight that he's coming back on Saturday from Costa Rica. I guess the notice he could be brought up on contempt charges spooked him.
My mom is taking the boys to the cabin this weekend so I can pack the house for or move, so I haven't told them yet. Ex-H usually needs a day or two to recover when he travels back here, so I'm hoping he doesn't call me on Saturday demanding to see them. There are a few things I need to clarify with him before they meet up. Thank God I removed the "Cubed shall make sure the kids see ex-H within 24 hours of him returning from Costa Rica" from our custody agreement.
Guys, I'm so sad. He's been gone for 7 months, and I honestly thought he wasn't coming back. I don't want to hand my babies over on a regular basis. DS1 will be thrilled because he worships his dad, but I'm heartbroken.
And ex-H promised me he would "be responsible" now (aka not let DS1 watch The Walking Dead or let the boys stay up until 1:00 am), but I'm so skeptical. He gets them overnight one weekend a month, and he has to call me by 9 am on that Sunday to prove he's awake with the boys or else I get to come pick them up. Like seriously?
I'm not ready for this. I'm scared he's going to ignore my reasonable requests because "he knows best" (since he read some parenting books and also considers himself an expert in psychology) and then I'm going to have to go back to court to revise the visitation schedule.
I'd appreciate any hugs, hair pats, etc...
tl;dr: ex-H is moving back after 7 months away and I'm sad to start the visitation schedule.
