What makes you think Flint is after primary custody?

There is no magical resilience. That's a lie perpetuated by selfish people. Kids have always been damaged by selfish adults.

Integrity matters. Kids do appreciate that. They also appreciate the adults who had time for them. You can't protect your kids from what's inevitably coming, but you can be a stable center for them. Someone has to carry the burden. What lessons the kids take from the whole mess is not up to you.

Holy tail post, doc.

He's your hero.

And he's a funny bastard.

Things getting any easier for you yet?

It's hit or miss. Got my own apartment; learning the new job. Some days doing fine, some days freaking out and wondering if I remember how to do anything, be an adult, and live by myself. But at least I'm just torturing myself--this is back to normal, lol.

Good for you, Flint. Seriously.

I'm glad you got your own place and are keeping on.

Much safer in your own place, they won't arrest you for torturing yourself.

I think it's a great step forward. How do the kids like it?

Did you get a puppy? Kids love puppies.
