Poking in on your thread, Awoken.

Quite the emotional upsy-downsy weekend of events. I don't know how you held it together through all that!

Then mix of emotions sounds quite hard. I guess it would be easier if STBXW were always in her angry moods, right? cheerful and chatty as you are just about to be DONE is hard to bear.

Your kids sound terrific, and you have a wonderful R with them.

Step by step, I guess, right? Each day.
