It's been one week since separation. I'm actually doing better than I thought. For the first time I actually get some sleep. The last 3 yrs living with the WAW, well I loss sleep due to I want to keep reaching out to her and looking at her while we sleep in same bed then my mind would constantly spin. This week the latest I stayed was midnight so I'm getting there
S14 is adjusting ok, I bought him a PC for his gaming needs so his life is not so interrupted with this new normal.
S5 on the other hand is getting sadder by the day:( yesterday my Stbx ask if she could take him to an event she had free tix. She did tell me I could go if I wanted to but I just said I'll pass and she can take s5.
At night she dropped him off at my place, s5 is getting sick and gave him kids tylenol before bed. We slept well.
Stbxw text me how is s5 doing and I told her he was sad but he's over it. She then replied he missed his home. And I replied back well my home is also now his home and he needs to adjust.
I think she insinuating that I dropped him off there to her house but that's not good for S5 how is he going to get use to this set up I think to myself.
So i texted her back and said, you are more than welcome to visit him at my place but on my days I will not take him to your house. He needs to get use to this and if anything you can visit him. She replied ok.
This morning she came by and gave him time and cooked Bfast for him. I left because s14 and I go on bike rides on Sundays.
Recall, I'm staying at my mom temporarily, and she heard STBXW talking to her D cousin about our sitch, about the refi and who knows what else. There is this worry that she might be telling her about full custody etc, again I have no proof but maybe I'm just worrying about nothing. I just don't see her angle to do that and if she does then we will have a costly battle with attorneys.
This makes me think about finalizing the D, while she still agree on 50/50 custody and get that finalize in court. Idk, we'll see.
So next Sunday is Easter and I ask her if I can take the kids to church in the morning since she I let her have s5 yesterday.
So far it's amicable. I hope no one in her family poisons her mind. I hope she gets that I as the father have the rights to be with me half of the time is that too much to ask for?
Next weekend is her weekend with the kids. We take turns on weekends.
