post-D with WAW

[azguy]

Avoided posting for awhile. I feel like I'm not seeing much (any?) change in our interactions, and sometimes I just don't want to dwell on it.

Have been focusing on developing a better interaction with my S. Spent part of the week before Easter on a road trip with him for his spring break. Was good for bonding with him.

XW dropped S off Easter morning, and I planned out a scavenger hunt for him. Then was off to a Rennaissance festival for the afternoon. We both enjoyed the day.

This Sunday we had agreed to do taxes. Filed jointly since the divorce wasn't official until January. It was a longer interaction than I had anticipated. It took us a couple hours to sort through our documents and get everything right. She was friendly and even open at times while we were doing this. We planned out some of the childcare arrangements for the following month at the same time. It really put me in a tailspin for the rest of the day. I still haven't really come to grips with why she left. In my mind, we have so many interests in common. In any case, I kept up a positive, cheerful interaction with her. I volunteered to throw S's b'day party this year, something she usually takes care of.
