Hi Cali
Happy belated birthday.
I am one that's glad you are sticking around. Science experiment or not.
As for your divorce, mine was necessary. I really think the MLCr needs to end it all. No ties.
IN my own sitch my XW is more friendly since we are officially divorced. Not that I am looking for her as a friend but it eased the tension quite a bit.

Hang tough my friend.
