This past weekend was a blessing with beautiful weather and a great day. I organized another single parent meetup and it was a hit. We have 5 parents and 6 kids join for ice creme and playing in the park. Everyone had a blast. Among those who I met was another single dad who has the same timeline as me and we connect again over lunch the next day. It's nice to have someone else going though this to talk to.

GAL has been good. Sunday I spent most of the day filling out financial paperwork for the Separation Agreement.

I'm finding myself slightly less depressed and alone as each day passes by. Still doing well on Detachment: While I WANT my wife and family reunited, I no longer NEED her. Perhaps half the battle.

WW keeps wanting to meet in person to discuss D3. I already have to see WW every Sat when I drop off D3 and I hate it - the last two weeks she asks if I could come inside last minute to discuss things about D3. The first time I had GAL plans so I told her I couldn't but offered to meet for lunch during the week - which would not work for her. This time I sent a preemptive text explaining I didn't want to come into where I recently once lived to discuss anything while D3 was around. I proposed we discuss matters on the phone. She replied asking what the big deal was, we have been married for 5 years.

My struggle is this: Do I appear weak or scared if I don't want to see her in person for something that can be discussed over the phone or even e-mail?

What are your thoughts?
