Mediation is over: Starting today we now have skids 50/50 instead of 67/33. They come by us today and normally they would stay with us for 10 days, but with the new schedule they will come by us today and she will get them back after school next Monday and keep them until the following Monday morning. This is on a temporary trial basis which goes until January, at which point they will decide if it's working. My SO said Crazy was all quiet and out of it, she didn't say anything the whole time except that "the kids really want 50/50" and so does she". Which is out of character, usually she is antagonistic and he expected to want to strangle her.

Honestly, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. 10 days was soo long, especially when lately they are stage 5 clingers to my SO. I really think this will decrease the disagreements we have regarding skids, since most of them are when we actually have skids. I am happier with more alone time, and I will get more skid-free time with my SO. I am pretty excited, and he seems to be ok with it now that he's accepted it.

He also added in a bunch of language stating Parents will not use defamatory language when talking to the children about the other parent or significant others, all communication on The Family Wizard must be based ONLY on requested schedule changes, medical or school info or emergency situations. Both parents agree not to communicate on anything but these issues. All communication on the app must be professional, no abusive language or name-calling. It doesn't mean she won't still do it, but at least this way it's worded so that he can show she clearly is violating it. And naive, hopeful me hopes this will shut her up.

I feel like celebratory drinks will be had tonight, although no one will actually know I'm celebrating but me.   *drinks*
