Thanks for the words of encouragment starksy. I feel a bit better already. Up to p90 of DR. Set some short term goals. Coming to realisation house will be sold, w will live elsewhere...that doesn't mean it's game over though.
I think from now on I'm going to set weekly (or fortnightly) goals and review each week how I get on: having just read step 2 of DR here goes:
* go on a family activity * be included in a future event. * W show a little interest in me either on phone or face to face.
Now, to reach these goals:
I am taking kids out for tea on Thursday. Rightly or wrongly I invited W. Won't ask again but let's see if she comes.
It's parent's evening in the next week or two. I will let W organise the appointment time and see if she informs me of it.
Wife has shown moments of interest recently. Going to maintain low contact/initiate high quality interactions (non R) when we do meet.
Coaching in less than an hour, then see the kids, then tea, then play poker with friends.
