I will make a plan to take S to the beach on my own. Probably the weekend she decides to move out. Whenever that will be.
The weekend my W moved out I took my S to a waterpark about 45 minutes away (it's a long way to the ocean from Wisconsin) for three days. I don't regret it for a minute. Yeah it cost some money, but having the distraction for that weekend and having the memories is priceless.
That weekend isn't "the weekend mommy moved" in my S's mind. It's the weekend we went to Chula Vista. Or at least that seems to be the case. He's never talked about the weekend she moved out... only the weekend we spent together there and when we can go back.
