Christmas

GREAT story, you sound very wise!

liberal means sharing every other holiday or the actual day.

I agree, but doesn't seem as though she wants to share, seems as though she wants what she wants with no consideration to anyone but herself and her family.

Stay calm & document every contact. Keep the eow & work to split the holidays as best you can. Channel your anger. If you haven't seen a counselor, do so now. Do it for several reasons. First, it will help you keep things in perspective. Second, it will give you some one to vent to. Third, it will look good in court. You recognize the stress it has put on you & you sought help to be the best parent you can be, in spite of all the conflict.

One of the most important things gr8Dad learned from his counselor was that you must stop trying to apply rational thinking to an irrational person. So, she wants everything & more. So what! You only have to give what the law demands. Educate yourself. There is a wealth of knowledge on this site.

PD has a whole list of things to help you figure things out. I am sure he will be happy to post them for you. Read them all & take lots of notes. Make sure your attorney is a Board Certified Family Law & Custody Specialist. If he isn't, get a new lawyer. It sounds like your lawyer is taking orders from her lawyer. That is not good.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!
