W and I are planning to take D's shopping for school clothes together tomorrow. Having addresses the BIG area of conflict between us, I'm hopeful of a pleasant day together. I'm preparing myself now on how to be, and what to avoid as topics of discussion. I'm also looking forward to it as an opportunity to show our girls that although the dynamics have changed, we are still very much a family.
I am going to go into it with a PMA, looking good, friendly, and without expectations. I'm trying to fill my mind with benign things to chat about, and hope for some laughter and ending it all as a positive experience.
