Thanks sandi. I got what you meant about dropping the rope vs. filing D. And it does make sense, as it is much easier to file later vs try and take a filing back.
Having kids definitely does make limiting contact difficult. I suppose cutting out all family dinners, outings, etc. is doable. But even then not completely. For example tonight we have a 'new parent' bbq and football game for my S5 school which we will both be attending. Plus both kids start soccer in a week and I am positive we will both be there for all practices and games. I suppose it is still a way of showing my good side while at the same time having none of the negative blowback from trying to arrange time together.
Thanks again sandi...
