Thanks Jim....I think it is easier since it appears there is no OM in the picture. I also think that over time these types of meetings will get less and less but who knows? I realize though that I can't predict the future or have any insight into it so I just need to roll with it and not overanalyze it. If nothing else I think it is really great for our kids.

The closer this gets to be final I find the thoughts of initiating a R talk creeping into my head. I am not sure why, I guess it has been so long since it has happened sometimes I wonder if she is afraid to bring them up herself for fear of me rejecting her. At times I feel she is feeling me out to get an idea of what I am willing and not willing to do. IDK. I guess I am finding it harder to continue sitting back, not initiating anything with her and watching the date of D inching closer.

I know doing what I am doing is the right thing but it's hard to hold the line as I see this coming to a close.
