Yeah I don't think I'm going to pretend but not going to share the reason for the separation with anyone but my closest friends.
Had my first coaching session last night - got some interesting feedback around trying to be her friend through all this and putting my D first. I got validation on the custody agreement as it brings stability to her and it favors me. It also allows us to maintain a connection through all this as Friends.
She also suggested that the Birthday trip may be OK if managed correctly and expectations are set - since it would show her we can be a family and also would be good for our D. Still on the fence about that with time to decide.
Tonight we tell our D - a conversation I'm not looking forward too.
