I will be traveling from SEA to IST in a few days. I have a backpack within the size requirements for a personal item. I was gonna get one of those Patagonia sling bags as well, to use when we arrive. I’m also getting a neck pouch for passports and cash, etc. Will i be ok with the pouch and bag inside backpack, for my personal item, as long as it’s under 4 kg? Thanks a lot!!
42m here. Married for 15 years, together for 21, to my wife, who I think shows a lot of signs of having BPD. 2 kids together, 16 and 13. She got mad at me back in March about something small, and it escalated into her telling me to leave. I complied, so there would be no drama/tension in front of the kids. Sleeping in my car ever since then, picking up kids and going to hang out with them on what seems to be her terms. She wants a 24 hour notice before I come get them. I mean, c’mon. How is this supposed to work? I am so close to my kids, I’ve worked overnight shift for 14 years so I could be there. Get them ready for school in the mornings, take them to school, pick them up after. Everything. Make dinner, do dishes, go get fast food, whatever it may be. I lay in my car and cry myself to sleep thinking about not being around them. I haven’t seen them go to sleep or wake up in almost 4 months. I’m devastated. I feel like my bond is still very strong with them, and it seems like they are normalizing this way of life. She has been a SAHM for almost 17 years. I know what I need to do, but I’m getting cold feet on getting started. The house is in my name, so I guess I would get that. I dream of a day where I have the house, 50/50 custody minimum, and her gone. It’s just the fear of the unknown if I file. I am at my breaking point, I can’t do this anymore. My kids are my life, so not being with them is killing me. I would like some outside perspectives on this. The kids are old enough to choose where to live also maybe? I am in WA state. Thank you Reddit community. You’re the best.
Is there anywhere besides Rainier Vista that has volleyball nets in Lacey? Thanks!!

Hi there. I’m an infrequent flier, traveling from
Seattle to Johannesburg through Istanbul next week. What is a good brand/model carry on suitcase/bag that will meet the size requirements? Also, what does everyone use for personal item? I was thinking a Patagonia/North Face cross body bag/sling thing to hold passport/wallet/phone charger/etc…thank you in advance.
I’ve been sleeping in my car for 3 months while separated from my wife. Two teens at home, and I am just at a low point right now, crying myself to sleep. I need somewhere to go to lift my spirits. I know I will get through this, but today it’s just hitting me hard. Thank you Olympia!!
Has anybody used Forrest Wagner in a divorce with children/custody issues? What was your experience using him? I had a consultation with him and like his personality, and he had a lot of good information. The 1 hour consultation turned into almost 2 hours. I think I will most likely retain him. BYW, I am the husband, very involved dad to 2 teens. Shooting for 50/50 custody, that’s the main goal. Thanks a lot!!
So I got arrested and charged with DV about 10 years ago, completed a friendship diversion program in WA state, so charge is dropped now? I ask because I am filling out divorce paperwork, and it asks if either parent has a history of domestic violence, and if yes, it would/could affect custody battle for my two teen kids. I don’t want this one mistake many years ago to affect my chance at custody today. Those were my drinking days, and I haven’t had a drink in 8 years. Do I need to get it expunged? I really don’t want to check that box about domestic violence. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Anybody have any experience with Morgan Hill Law for divorce/family law? Starting the process, had a 1 hour consultation, and liked what he had to say. He said he would assign the case to a young associate. Is this standard practice? I’m a little worried about the inexperience of the associate. Are all cases overseen by the senior/more experienced attorneys at some point in the process? Thanks for the insight!!
