So, yesterday I sat down with all the kids and had a really amazing heart to heart conversation, letting them know exactly what the move meant for them - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I did my best to respect their mom, and told them what my demands were for visitation. They were very honest about their mixed feelings about moving, and they gave me "permission" to fight for custody if my demands aren't met. I feel closer to my kids than I ever have. They are a petty amazing bunch!
