Thanks marriedCrazy. I keep telling myself I'm not divorced yet, but it seems to be coming up so fast. As far as what works I don't want to read too much into anything she does, but on the other hand I don't want to miss something. Very confusing.
I agree it might be an advantage...W will only see S8 for about an hour a day after she picks him up from school. She as already expressed her sadness about this. To which I completely empathize, I can't stand the few days I don't see him now.
W & son have a dog (puggle). I have helped with it the past but I have never been it's "owner". Since S8 is staying w/ me he asked if the dog could stay too. For his sake I would consider it, but maybe it would better if she handled it on her own. FIL would be home to let it out and feed it. I told him I would think about it. W didn't ask me directly but her and S8 discussed it and he asked me.
