I'm glad to hear you had a good time camping. Yes it sucks to feel as if you're the only one alone and everyone else is paired up. Just keep in mind the statistics say otherwise and you WILL be paired up when the time is right.
Well, we'll see. Don't know if there are any good ones left- except the guys on the boards here, of course . At the same time I also felt like part of a kind of family- I really like these people and they took care of D when I had to do anything (and vice versa), seamlessly, as we've been watching over each others' kids for several years now at events. It was a nice feeling- I don't have much of a family so never have these occasions where you can walk away and know there are 2 or 5 people there to watch over your kid.

Sorry to hear about how you feel in regard to D3. While I can't really offer anything other than support just know that while he's ignoring her now but with 50% custody he's going to have to pick up the slack. You can perhaps have a discussion around it saying while it's not necessary he keeps her occupied every min of the day but at the same time it's not acceptable or appropriate to use TV as her baby sitter either! I'm so sorry he's so immature! sigh!
Unfortunately, I don't think he'll listen b/c he has his "W is evil, ruined my life and continues to be controlling around parenting issues" filter on 24/7 where I'm concerned. I will try anyway- but that was one reason I was hoping he'd go see a D coach with me- to hear this kind of thing from a neutral 3rd party so he might listen. But I have no hope he'll go or put any effort into how to get D through this and what's best for her. Ironic, because I know he loves her. He is just only thinking of himself. I hope he's shaken out of that at some point. Part of me wants to like call up his mom and tell her how he's behaving (I won't)- not b/c of my feelings but b/c of D3. She would not like it, but probably wouldn't believe me over her only son either.

Good to hear about the apt though. That should be exciting. Perhaps a little unsettling too- sure, it's been a long time but you've done it before you can surely do it now! Plan a big house warming party- I'll come!
