BM just called DH and said she is willing to make the custody change to 50/50.

Pick me up off the floor.

Apparently, she said that it has become clear to her for the first time that my issue with her is grounded in the fact that I perceive her as a third person in my marriage. She realized this, she said, b/c she and her DH are having more issues than they've ever had, and it's b/c she has dragged *my* DH as a third person into *their* marriage.

Miracle of miracles. I have no illusion that this will solve all of our problems, but my god it's a step in the right direction!!! And my DH gets to be a real daddy to his kids, and they get to have the benefit of being with him in real life, and our being a real family, not just a weekend family.

Sorry, I just started crying.

I'm VERY happy for you but I want to hear that the papers have been signed before I get too excited!

"Testicles, spectacles, wallet and cigars!" (Something my uncle always said while doing a sign of the cross... grandpa always glared at him too...)

I SO hope that this works out for you. I think it's really best for the kids. It's exciting!

It's spectacles first, otherwise it doesn't make sense! That's so funny. I was watching Austin Powers last night with my boy and he did the same thing!

Or do you recall how a Catholic will motion with their hands the sign of the cross in front of their body with their hand- head, chest/stomach, than shoulder to shoulder? That motion is called the sign of the cross, and well... that little ditty is um, a very crass and devious thing to say while doing it. It was meant to be funny... I knew I was on the edge... but when am I not! LOL
