I haven't read your entire sitch, so apologies in advance if I misinterpret anything. I think you can be cordial, however, you might be going overboard, IMHO. I think Mozza hits on some key points...
I would NEVER have a conversation with x Mr. GB to discuss what to say when kids say they miss the other parent. Granted, I have my kids 90% of the time, but no....Occasionally, my 5 yr old will say he misses his daddy and that he wished he didn't move out to live another life. I tell him his Dad loves him and he can call him if he likes. The x doesn't (I know this for a fact) have these types of convos with the kids. They have asked him why he moved out in front of me and he literally squirms and said "I just don't want to talk about it." Okey dokey:)
In regards to FB, why do people feel the incessant need to announce everything??? Do what you do. Wanna change your status? Change it. You don't owe her an explanation. Your friends will either DM you on the matter or not. Don't worry about W's feelings on this perception. I don't say this to be rude, but you are no longer married to her. Focus on you and your kids-not whether W is going to be miffed by a status change. Download the pics and mosey on.
Don't bring up anything except for kid and financial issues. If you X W chooses to tell you she's been sad, happy, grumpy, giddy, etc...let her bring it up. She's a big girl. You must focus on your new life.
Good luck:)
