OK - funny day. My son asked if XW could join us for lunch today, and she did - and ended up spending most of the day with us, out in the world. It was nice and normal. She said at one point, after all the painful things we've been through, it's nice to pretend that none of it happened.
There were those moments of familiarity, where she wanted a sip of my milkshake or my cup of coffee.
It was nice to feel like a family. It was nice to spend time with her. Not in a hopeful kind of way.
I'm not sure if this is good or bad. Is it cool that we can hang out? Is it unhealthy? I tend to believe it's good for the boys.
They were asking, eager to do things with "mom AND dad".
I guess I don't have the need to overthink it. (for once)
