I met the GAL earlier this week, tried to explain the situation. Let her know I’m okay with 50/50 custody but I want my wife to get help with her alcohol use and mental health.

I think the kids deserve both parents and for them to be healthy.

Just terrified of how my wife will try to twist things. The idea that a single person will make a recommendation to guide the rest of my children’s lives has me on edge.

Just feel like I’ve failed the kids.
