And given how much d16 means to me, how do I nurture the relationship? She'll be gone so much and I'll be at a disadvantage, especially as she is together with my sneaky, charming W. She was at least receptive to the Wednesday night dates with Dad idea, but once per week is paltry pickings... and if she and W come here weekends, I expect to be the odd man out again, ignored.
S20 is not coming home this summer (I plan to visit him instead) - will he never see his bedroom again? It so s---ks to terminate a household and the associated memories and history. My sister points out that there is however a poisonous atmosphere here and that is pleasant for no one.
My R with my kids is so important, close to my heart, valuable, irreplaceable.
Do I text d16 every day or talk to her? Do I have to let her take the initiative? Just the sound of her voice, her breathing, knowing she is near, makes me whole.
