Hi MK. How are you doing? There's nothing wrong with cookies for Christmas. It will be the same for us I'm guessing, since H no longer seems to feel a financial responsibility to his children. That's ok by me. I am perfectly capable of providing as long as he leaves me alone. I, like you, wish no ill, but wish him and his absent from my life. For the most part, he is doing a good job, and I am happy. My kids are happy. Life is good.
On the dating thing... hmmmmm... I say just go with the flow and do what brings you happiness.
Have a happy holiday
