I will also add this... when I picked up SD, STBX was doing laundry and in a foul mood. After the movie was over and I dropped the kids off she was still in a foul mood. I shared a bit of news with her that one of the students we had when we worked together passed away from a car accident. That brought her out of her funk for a minute but then I could see her slip back in.

I almost asked her what was wrong, but I caught myself. Not my problem anymore and frankly I don't really want to know or listen. I already blew up my to-do list taking the kids to the movie, I didn't need a 10-minute litany of her issues.

So I said good bye and left. It's feeling better each time I just leave and let her sit with her problems. It used to tear me up to do it. Then it hurt to do it. Then it bothered me. Now I just shrugged my shoulders when I got in the truck and simply felt sorry for her, but no real regrets.
