W got nothing from me this anniversary. Didn't want to spend money that would not be appreciated and most likely resented. So we spent a good deal of the day together with the kids and called it good.
I'm definately taking a step back and take the ride approach. Enjoy what time I have left with my complete family. Kind of put a different perspective on things. Work wise I know I will perform better when all this weight is off my shoulders. After being so involved in my kids lives, I'm not looking forward to being an "outside" Dad. Some days I really wonder how the kids are going to do with out the "calmer head in the house". I know S15 was told by a friend he should live with me.
You should have called Monday, I could have used the input. Do you think Cactus is a good anniversary present? Some way maybe W will get the point.
