Morning (here anyway).

RD yes, no contact at all. The kids are too small to have their own phone and if I rang XW she wouldn't answer. I could and probably should try more to push for contact on these weekends but at the same time I really try to limit my contact with her (and OMs) life.

Next handover is Friday evening. There's only one or two in person handover in a fortnight, the rest is through the school run.

V, yes resignation about the end of my M is probably the right word, but its part of acceptance. On the Kubler-ross change curve I'm probably just moving to the 'experiment' stage as I search for new meaning in my life (rather than meaning which is based around either my M,trying to save my M, or resentful about the end of my M)


Both mid 30s, 2 young kids
