Well, now it looks like we are the custodial parents. For those who didn’t read my last post, BM has been having some health problems, and we aren’t comfortable leaving SS5 alone with her anymore. DH went to BM and said that we want primary custody, at least until she can get her health in order (and preferably find a way to support herself).

Apparently it was a super awkward conversation as she didn’t feel well enough to go to Starbucks, so they had this conversation in her parent’s house where she lives, with her dad glaring at my DH the whole time.

From his reports, my DH did a good job. He told her that she can see SS5 whenever she wants, and that his primary concern was that if she has a heart attack or passes out while she’s alone with SS5 there will be nobody to get her help or take care of him. He didn’t demand to stop paying child support, but he did say that if this situation ends up staying this way for more than a few weeks that he will want to reevaluate support.

It’s been 2 workdays that we’ve had SS permanently now. Feels less weird than I thought it would.
