3 Years after D-Day, part 2. Separated 9 Months.

[Am I Too Late]

Well, today is my S-10's very last day as a 4th Grader. I'm so proud of how well he is doing. He should be collecting a free coupon to go to Six Flags Great America amusement park today for the reading contest they offer.

Yesterday, the sale and closing of my commercial property was completed and i caught up on my past delinquent property taxes for my rental property with the funds.

I didn't get enough to get my home out of foreclosure yet, but at least i have been focusing on some work projects getting sold and completed.

My sons cat that he and my W picked out 5 years ago passed away sometime overnight on this past Monday, which i discovered very early Tuesday morning. We have not been home until bed time every night this week, so my S has not noticed yet. That's going to be tough on him. He loved Pika, (Pikachu), very very much. I'm not sure if honesty about it's death, or thinking he wandered off and got adopted by a nice family would be better for him.

I did inform my W about it early Tuesday morning and she replied sympathetically, but that was the extent of the e-mail communication. She has not reached out as expected to inquire about seeing our S over this upcoming Memorial Day 3 day weekend. I only mention that out of facts and documentation, not that i am emotionally disappointed. I'm not now since i am getting better at not having ANY expectations of her.

Aside from me e-mailing her about the cat, along with sending her a birthday message on Sunday, i have had no contact with her since March 10th.

It has now been 95 days since her 1 hour visit with our S-10. Prior to that was a 22 day period since the last visit, so she has seen him for a total of 1 hour in the past 117 days.

I think we will take the 3 day weekend to visit my parents at their lake home in Wisconsin. Or, i will see if any estimates are available for me to do.

A far as the previous custody post, well i will take that to heart. Judges prefer to continue with the status quo for living arrangements. If a court awards her time with our S, then she "May" follow through or may not. I am done encouraging her to do so ever since her anxiety issues she proclaimed back in February, right after her and her current OM temporarily split up. That's fine with me.

I feel like i am improving and getting MY Life in order in bits and pieces, but i would like to ask a direct question.

How do you fellow DB Posters view me in your eyes?

Any suggestions on me getting my life back together any quicker?

Thank You.
