Never did a blog before or opened myself up so publicly so, although a bit nervous about it, I am going to give it a shot.
I am the process of going through a miserable divorce. Frankly, its not the issues between me and my ex if you would see us together, you would think that we are good friends. There are two issues in every contested divorce money and kids. In my case, I am fighting to get custody of my two boys. Unfortunately, my ex is not, in my mind, the best thing for my boys. I could write pages on her issues but suffice it to say that she paints a good picture from the outside but is horrible on the inside. As part of the custody process, I have to write something outlining why we got to the place where we are today and where I think we should go. It is the first opportunity that I can really explain my future plans to the parties involved about why I think I should be awarded custody. Ive known about it since the beginning of December. Its due on Tuesday. I of course started it yesterday. I am finding it extremely difficult trying to get this on paper. Frankly, I am fine speaking about it but writing it is something else. I am extremely passionate about getting custody of them but I cannot seem to get this passion to come out on the page. Compounding this is the fact that this is what I do for a living (sort of) and I have no problem doing it for a client. My writers block is bothering me the fact that it is bothering me is making my block worse. I am hoping that writing this will help a bit. Once I finish, I am going to take a break. My boys are the world to me I am told that I am the unusual dad in that I am extremely involved with my boys. They are almost 8 and 3 and are just the best. If I keep this blogging up, I will post pics of them. This is a good weekend for me to do this because they are with their mother and I have the chance to focus but (as usual) I miss them a ton.
Feel a little bit better already. Going to take a walk its a gorgeous January day here in New York. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Custody battles are never easy. I was 4 and my brother 6 when I was brought into court and such. :/
