This is my first post to you and I apologize for not being completely up to date on your sitch... I just read a few of the latest posts and I also noticed our kids are practically the same ages!
I am three years into my separation now and yes, it took a very long time for me and my H to even be on friendly terms. We were BOTH too hurt and angry... For some time, we barely spoke and at times even only communicated by email.
We are now doing much better. I won't call it a true friendship, but we are always on friendly terms.
My point is that it takes time...and that's ok too.
Both parties need to heal. And yes, our kids are very young and we have a lifetime of activities, events, major decisions and things that will keep our lives intertwined with our spouses in one way or another.
So stay patient. Let your W deal with her emotions and anger. The storm will calm down and hopefully you will then both be open to at least having a healthy co-parenting relationship, if nothing else. After all, it's the best for the kids...
In the meantime, focus on YOU and your wonderful kids.
Life has given you this precious time where you can focus on those two things, (which are the most important things in your life), without have to worry about your R with your W for the moment.
If you change your perspective to see this time as an opportunity, you can accomplish a lot. Take advantage of it!
And stay strong!
