I am lucky that my relationship with my kids is so strong. It creates some unusual jealousy in STBXW. She is convinced that I'm setting the kids against her, and I'm doing my best not to.
At this point, I don't know what to do with a weekend with out the roller coaster. It's almost more depressing, since it leaves me alone with my thoughts. However, as you said step by step!
My daughter and I share a story about a King (Solomon?) having a ring engraved with the saying "This too shall pass", which he kept/wore for perspective in both good and bad times. I told it to her once when she was a preteen and having a tough time at school. She has started reminding me both in her own troubles, and in the family's troubles: "this too shall pass".
