CTH, I agree with your approach. Whatever you do to help 'her' really should depend on if you WANT to do it. While helping the other parent goes both ways i.e. she may help you out too but you shouldn't go out of your way to accomodate every request. Let her feel the pressure of asking...not assuming you will.

Have you found that it's easier on you when you don't see her? In my case I'm kinda numb from the whole experience, I haven't seen her for almost a month but I'll see her in a couple of days at the court mediation meeting. We'll see how that goes.

I don't post as often but I read your thread every day. Have fun at the softball game and enjoy the extra time with the kids. I'm glad you're GALing well!
