It's been awesome with my kids. Our week together is great, they love being with me even though we're in an apartment most of the time right now. It's great to know that they don't really care where we are, just that we're together. My D7 tells me all the time she wants to stay with me and going back to her Mom is often pretty traumatic for her.
My W seems to have retreated since the argument. As lousy as it was, I don't think it was nearly bad enough to warrant not speaking with me for nearly two months now. Apparently she does. All I can do is be patient, stick with biting my tongue and with time things will hopefully get better again.
She's asked me to bring a few more things for her from the acreage. Considering everything she's done a part of me wants to tell her no. That would be petty on my part though so I'll likely go along with her.
It's a roller coaster. I'm out and meeting new people, getting a new life for myself. Some days I feel like I can do anything and that everything will be fine no matter what. Then there are other days where I get an overwhelming feeling of loss and I miss my W very much.
On a more positive note, my band played it's first show again since I started it back up. It felt so good to be up there again. We're booking more shows, only in the time when I don't have my kids, it's been a very good thing for me to get back to.
