LT thanks. No worries, you have a lot on your plate and are doing a pretty good job. Just remember, your child comes first and don't tell your W sorry!! I hate reading about the picture scenario of your W though, just wrong.
I did kind of wander over into "why does she want a picture?" territory. She said it was for S, shot down any discussion and then at the party asked the teacher to take it. She then asked if I was going to post it, and I am. In a birthday barrage of pictures on Facebook! If I had to place stock in it, I'd call it a penny stock. Buy it, put it away and see if it becomes anything. It's kind of part of the "it's obvious we're more than just parents" thing I recognized, but as I also noted....we BOTH have big walls built up. I know some of the things I need to see before my walls come down. Increased time with S being paramount. Also, stop telling me what to do, speaking to me in a respectful manner as much as possible, not taking advantage of me or situations, opening up more, being interested more in me, etc.
Those are just a start, but you've got to start at the bottom really. Also, I kind of made a decision about the tattoo. This weekend was the perfect time to get it, but I've decided to wait. For 2 reasons: First, if we decide to reconcile we'll both look at it and remember the separation. Secondly, my W likes tattoos and is experienced with them. Perhaps my getting one, and her going, could be something we re-bond with. Just a couple thoughts.
Looking forward to the rest of the day with my boy!!!
