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.
