Just finalized custody agreement - feeling guilty

S

1w ago1 min read

Got the papers signed yesterday. 60/40 in my favor which is way more than I expected honestly. My ex struggles with consistency and the judge seemed to pick up on that during the proceedings. But now I'm sitting here feeling like crap about it. The kids want to see her more and I don't want to be the reason she doesn't get them. I know it's supposed to be what's best for them but man this is harder emotionally than I thought it would be.

60/40 is solid but the guilt afterwards is real. Just remember that you probably fought hard for that arrangement because it's what's best for your kids. That's not something to feel guilty about.

I had similar guilt when our paperwork went through. But like, you got this custody split because a judge thought it was the right call. That means something. Don't second-guess the decision now.

The guilt is normal but honestly if the agreement is fair and works for your kids, that's what matters. Don't let guilt eat you up over something that's actually better for them.
