A friend suggested that I ask H to come over for dinner once a week or so for "family time" for the kids' sake... Seems like pursuing to me and not helpful in the whole detachment arena...and yet, I know, my kids would really enjoy it.
I wouldn't do that for a while. You've just been apart since June, right? I've been out one month longer.
Early on we kept doing some family things together and the girls loved it ... but it's kept me from breaking the emotional attachment and W said it's like I never left.
As time goes on -- when you feel like the emotional attachment isn't there or as strong -- then you can start doing more family things together. The kids will still like it and it won't be as awkward. Also, it might just knock you back emotionally.
