I really REALLY hate this

Well, the kids are on the plane headed to DC's. They are both armed with cellphones and both phones have the GPS trackers installed.
I spent the last week talking up this trip with them and trying to get them excited to see DC. This morning at the airport I totally held it together when I hugged and kissed them goodbye. Their plane just took off and I'm sitting here at their gate bawling. I keep telling myself this trip won't be like last time. I keep telling myself that the kids have to be given the opportunity to try and have a relationship with DC. But damn this is hard.
Is it August 8th yet?

Re: I really REALLY hate this
I feel for you. Try to stay positive.. I know easier said than done.. I don't know what happened last time but have seen some of your posts about the phones and things and I really hope everything works out for you and them.

This is a good thing. Your kids are older, wiser and stronger this time round.
YOU are stronger and smarter this time round.
And a$$wipe knows he is on notice this time round.

Yessss! The only reason that d-bag was able to pull it off was because he caught you by surprise.

I wasn't on the board a year ago so I don't know what the history is, but I just wanted to say that I hope all goes well for this visit and that your worries are set to rest.
I was also wondering what the DC abbreviation means? sorry, I just can't figure it out...
DC = douchecanoe
Last year when the kids were out there, DC took my son's phone away and basically hid the children. They only see him once a year and they always have a lot of apprehension when they go. So for almost 2 weeks, the kids were not able to text me, call me, or email me. DC kept the kids at random people and relative's homes so that I couldn't find them. The police were involved, I got an Emergency Order, it was a mess. We live in CA and he lives in TN so it was really scary and stressful. We had a follow up hearing recently and the Judge gave DC "one more chance".

I could not figure this out for the life of me either, but the other day someone used douchecanoe in conversation, and all I could think after that was 'Oh, I figured out Jo's ex's abbreve!!!!!!'
I understand all of your anxiety but I second/third/fourth/fifth that your kids are armed with more knowledge and cel phones with GPS this year, it will NOT be a repeat! That said, I hope Aug. 8th comes faster than we think. Thinking of you and your family, you have been through a lot.
