So completely on board with you about the mind reading and overthinking. Definitly need more GAL activities.
With me being checked out of marriage until late last year wouldn't be concidered a 180 for me to do things with my kids and W.
The w knows that if we invite her and she refuses it doesn't change our plans. And on a couple of the outing she invited herself. Both times that it was the two of us it was a face to face invite and W was very excited about the outing. It just seems to overwelm her part way through.
She wants to complain about herself as a mother, what happens at work, i just listen and validate.
With the school year starting im busy with the kids. My S is showing a lot of stress and anger. I am encouraging him to talk with his Mom and let her know how he feels. Both kids are still very surprised we are separated and the amount of time that has passed.
They are building a good relationship with me but as this continues i see a gap opening between them and there Mom at times then they seem to reconnect. It,s like the w is unsure of them as well. Sorry mindreading again....
So how do i show im checked back in to the family without seeming needy or pushy to the W??
