I should be in pretty good shape once the house sells in the meantime I am operating on a thin budget.
The only events we have left open as potential group events are Halloween and the kids B-day party. I will likely pass on doing either of these together for the foreseeable future.
Vacations together never. I believe you are correct about how this will all seems like normal to my kids given their young ages. Although yesterday was painful, the STBX dropped the kids off around 4:00 PM and both my son and daughter cried for their mommy for about and hour. Totally sucked.

Part of me thinks that STBXW wants to play family when it's convenient to her.
I see it the same way.

If it were me, no way do I do a long trip with an ex or soon to be ex if there was an OM in the picture.
The OM thing changes everything, trust me you wouldn't want anything to do with the STBX under these conditions. It is brutal.
I feel like I have taken a couple of steps back in the last few weeks and believe this correlates with the increased communication. I don't want to be bitter and focused on this disaster and I feel like I am struggling a bit again.
