Will,

I agree about not bringing up the R talk but let me run a few things by you.
1) Last time we did talk about the R, the W kept asking me open ended ?'s about how I was doing "How have things been going with you when you don't have the kids"? and "Don't you think things have been better since you moved out?". I find it difficult to try and listen/validate her and not just talk myself up.

2) Had kids this weekend and when I took them home on sunday the kids wanted to show me stuff outside. I started playing with them and W joined in and it evolved into all of us hanging out for like a hour and a half. I have mentioned that we go out every Tuesday and have excellent time, with what happened yesterday I am wondering if I need try an initiate more family and or personal time with the W? I don't want to chase or push her and I understand that I could just be grasping at crumbs but one of our biggest problems was my interaction as a family?

Any thoughts?
