Okay, I'll skip the photos. I just know that I would want some if they were with him, so I thought it might be a good thing to do.
Yes, I'm looking out for the kids. I'm going to visit with my mom and tell her she really isn't helping right now. She is just adding to the pressure.
I don't know if I'm doing great, and I doubt I'm DBing since we have no contact, BUT, I do know that I feel better about whatever is going to happen, and that's a plus.
I think I feel pretty much like you on the "friends" thing. Take Kevin's sitch for example, I can see us eventually sitting together at a funtion for the kids. Sitting apart is just weird to me. Seems like it would make the child uncomfortable.
