Ok the RSF. Here is your new plan of action and it's simple so you should be able to hold it down and work it: SHUT UP & SIT STILL. Continue to do things for you. Every chance you have to get the kids, you take it, no questions asked except what day she'll be picking them up or you'll be dropping them off. That's it.
Can you do that?
I'm on it. I think I will tackle one thing for me. I'm going to work on moving closer to the kids. At one point I was looking at buying a house or condo so I could be closer, then I put the brakes on because I thought we might reconcile and I didn't want to make a bad move. I think living in their school district would make me feel tons better. I hate being an every other weekend dad, I do a lot with them during the week bu the drive is far and I don't feel comfortable hanging around her/their/our house.
It's funny, she just called because of a scheduling conflict and asked for a hand covering one of the activities. Quick, cordial conversation. It's the littlest thing but I feel so good when we're cordial and working together on stuff like that.
