WAW leaving in June - Do I have time?

[MrBond]

If you miss the kids, call the kids. don't jeopardize your relationship with them because of your W.

If you call and don't want to talk to your W, then just tell her that you miss the kids and want to talk to them. That's it.

"Problem with this is she will
Probably be pissy when she does email or call."

Not a problem at all. At least not YOUR problem. She chooses to act pissy. Not you.
