I go to mediation with my wife for the first time today. I am nervous. I do not want to loose seeing my children every day and taking care of them every day. I don't want to break up my family eather.
My wife wants to end our marriage and keep the house and full custody of the kids and she wants me to be at the house every day to help out and to take the kids home after work and feed them. And she does not want to work on our relationship. She makes more money than me but I dont think we make enough to afford to keep the house, add an apartment rent to our expenses and split up all our debts.
I don't want to give up all she is asking for and my fear is that when she comes back down to reality ans sees that she wont get what she wants - She may get very agressive and get a layer and try to push me out of my childrens lives. What are the chances that I could get custody? I take care of them just as much if not more than she does. Both of my kids when they were 1 - 1.5 years old would call me mom too. My daughter is 2 and my son is 6.
What is best for the kids.
I want to see my children every day and I do not want to be with a woman every day who does not value me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The kids go today...so we shall see.
Stand your ground and be the sensible one. If you can't afford both the house and the apartment, then be clear about it. If you want custody, why not ask for it? Fathers are getting more and more rights these days, there should be no reason that she can 'push you out' of their lives.
You have friends here that are praying for you.
Let us know how it goes.
