Ok, got it. We were going to chat later tonight but I just made an excuse and bailed. We txtd a bit but I left it at that. We will see each other tomorrow for kids games, I'll keep it light and pleasant. Tomorrow afternoon/evening he is taking S to a cub scout event and I am taking D to do something with a friend. I'll be sure to avoid contacting him during this time, wait for him to initiate and keep it light and chatty.
I planted giant pumpkin seeds today which H was rather intrigued by ;-) And no, I didn't do it just to interest him, it's something a colleague mentioned he was doing and I thought was totally cool so decided to do myself. Sunday I'll have both kids back home and will figure out something fun for us while continuing to maintain some space from H.
Honestly, I feel some uncertainty when I think of him coming home right this minute so I think my instincts are aligning with what you're saying -- we're moving in the right direction but definitely not 100% yet.
Is there such a thing as pre-piecing? We're clearly not piecing yet, but I don't feel like we're exactly LRT either. It seems like somewhere in between. Each phase seems like it has it's own little nuances you have to be so on top of! Thx again to all for helping navigate through..
