How quickly part 4 came and went...

Last post in my previous thread was that W and I agreed to try to work things out. W asked that I set up MC session and agreed to drafting no contact letter as well as handing over passwords, phone, etc.

Last night we had D10's bday party at a nearby park. A couple of W's friends stopped by- I'm not sure if W has mentioned anything to them or not. W spent the night last night (on the couch). We seemed to get along fine, by I admit it seemed kind of awkward at times. Just along the lines of how to interact with her now. Trying to be friendly, but not overwhelming. Although we've been apart for almost a yr now, at times it felt like old times. Several times, W talked about things 'we' needed to do around the house.

W left this morning for work. I called after she left to discuss when D10's friends were being picked up and we talked about her plans for the weekend. She's going to a baseball game tonight with her old work group (asked me if that was ok) then taking the kids tomorrow to some caverns. She asked if I wanted to go, I told her I'd like to, but struggle with what (if anything we should tell the kids right now. Not fair to them for us to all of a sudden start hanging out as a family and not let them know what's going on, but it's also way too early to get their hopes up that we can work things out. Thoughts?

Talked briefly about setting up MC session for this week. My IC gave me a recommendation and they have a couples program. I think the no contact letter needs to be drafted and sent soon, just struggle on how to bring that back up with W- email her some templates to get started?

I look to everyone out there that's been through this on how to navigate these next steps...
