I do believe age is a factor. When we were all in our 30's life was full of so many possibilities and we felt invincible. When we get into our 40's we realize we are not going to live forever and that every moment is precious. I think that is why we are so heartbroken when our kids are not with us. We know that time is flying by and that we don't get it back.
I am going to continue on my path and no longer contact my XW or send photos etc. I find it easier for myself. I don't end up with any expectations. Expectations are what is causing me so much pain and it tends to keep me stuck.
I don't believe I have heard the last of my XW.
In fact I predict that she emails me and suggests I pick the kids up at the airport on Tuesday. I am not scheduled to have them until after school on Wednesday.
Have a happy new years everyone !!
