My gut reaction was different. As I said we had kids from previous M's. My D was having a very hard time with the separation. I told the W about a month ago she could use some one on one time. At the time she probably took it as a guilt trip or manipulation on my part, but it truly wasn't.
Now my D is doing better, and my worry is that a meeting w my STBXS might 'stir up' negative things in her fragile little heart.
But I know having that convo with my S is a BAD idea, as is ignoring her or giving her a curt 'No', or, 'Maybe that would've helped a month and a half ago.'
I have to use this opportunity to be a lighthouse of positivity.
So you're right Wonka- I either cheerfully agree or find a very sincere and friendly way to say I don't think it's a good idea anymore without engaging in any heavy talk.
