T0 & GH, Thanks so much for the support and vote of confidence. I need it as both of you know how tough this is.
Just a brief update, well there's really not much. There's been NC with STBX since the text exchange yesterday. Last night, met up with some friends and flooded the jukebox with Steely Dan, Cat Stevens, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Breeders.
Tonight, STBX will drop off the kids and I will have them through Monday morning. Tonight, D4 and I will probably have a sleep over, watch a movie, make popcorn, etc. I picked up a giant steak because my beautiful kids love to eat medium rare meat cooked on the grill. I obviously did something right as a father! Saturday afternoon, the kids and I will be at a birthday party. I'm also thinking about taking the kids to the zoo on Sunday morning. Phew. Sounds exhausting and I love it!
It would be wise to expect STBX to lash out tonight when she drops off the kids. I'm expecting her to ask why I am pulling back. If she asks, I will validate and explain that I've been busy but each parent deserves to have uninterrupted time with the kids when it is their time with them. If she asks why we can't still be friends, I will keep it short and say that I just don't think that's possible right now.
Thoughts?
