Adventures in Polyamory
I'm Kitten, a Neutral Good pansexual poly pagan geek mom living in Seattle, actively searching for new ideas and new connections. I'm a strange mix of experienced and n00b when it comes to poly; I've been actively living the poly lifestyle since 1997, but have lived in mostly small towns, and have kindof stumbled into partners by accident. I have never experienced a poly community...until very recently. This has opened up a whole new world to me, as well as new pitfalls that I'd never been aware of. Join me as I chronicle my journey into this incredibly rewarding lifestyle.

The Guardian ad Litem found that all of my ex’s allegations were completely unfounded, and that I’m a more than adequate, loving mother. However (and I wasn’t entirely expecting this to count so much), they are a two-parent household, and I was not. So, while I ended up with more time with my son that I was previously getting, I did not get the 50-50 shared custody I was asking for. It’s been a long, heartbreaking road, and I strongly suggest that anyone in a poly relationship with children have written relationship agreements with their partner describing what happens with the children should you separate. Even better if it’s a legal document, drawn up by a lawyer, signed and filed. It protects both partners from any machinations by the other. I hope you never have to deal with anything close to what I had to…but I’ve heard enough horror stories at this point that I say you can never be too careful.
