Need advice for a WW who left Part 4

[dwh15]

Haven't posted in a while, mainly due to just being busy, so quick update. Nothing new on the D front. My lawyer filed an objection to the initial recommendation for child/spousal support, because it appears to have been incorrectly calculated to some extent, resulting in a larger payment from me. Filed the objection a week ago and still haven't heard anything about a followup hearing.

I don't see or talk with WW much at all anymore. Usually text at least every other day about kids, but always brief and to the point. We spent an hour together last Saturday at a hockey game for my youngest, and while it was pleasant and we did some catching up, I felt pretty down the whole next day, so decided I need to avoid WW at future games, which happen weekly. I'll probably choose to just sit somewhere else next time. Thought I was ready and could handle a conversation, but still not emotionally there.

Otherwise, life has settled down overall, I'm doing pretty well and kids seem to have adjusted for the most part. I still plan on getting all my boys into therapy soon, since I believe they will all need some help to move on from this, but in day to day stuff, they seem fine.

I've been talking with a woman, also going through her own D, and also with sole custody of 4 kids. We get along really well, and have decided we both are just looking for friends right now, and then see where it goes. She's been really good for my mood, and has helped me through a couple of rough nights where I was feeling lonely. We've both been totally honest about where we are at emotionally and what we are looking for, so I think the relationship will be good for us, even if it's just friends. If I feel she's getting too attached or expecting more, then I'll have to back off, as I know I am not ready. But so far, so good.
