[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, instead of placing more fault on OP, let's give him tips on how to keep his kids close.  Here are some ideas I had:

1) When they get phones, agree on a frequency for texting.  Try to develop a friendly, loving daily text conversation.  Maybe a group chat between the three of you.

2) Make yourself available for extra logistical shuttling during mom's time IF NEEDED.

3) Go to their new school's open houses, etc.

4) Ask your kids for their input on how to redesign the aspects of your shared lives that are changing.

5) Start thinking ahead to college.  Kids know who cares about their future.

6) Keep any dating out of view for a while.  Find constructive, non-dating hobbies to keep you busy.  Maybe projects you can share with your kids when they are with you (project car?).

You’re still fighting it, OP. I’m sorry it feels unfair. None of us know you or your ex enough to assess if you got screwed by the court system. But you’re best putting your effort into molding new relationships with your kids. My dad moved to a new state to marry his AP. I saw him summers and holidays. We’re very close to this day because he put in the effort. [/quote]
