Don't use kids as an excuse to maintain contact. There is a tactic called hybrid NC. Split kid stuff from other stuff. Other stuff is through L.
Kid stuff is through monitored email and is admin only.
I will collect kids from grandma's at 4 pm. S12 has dental at 9 on Tuesday. Use a calender such as my familywizard. Text is for emergencies only. One of you maintains calender, each of you has contact with schools, doctors etc. Stick to the court orders. Never enter each others homes. Make separate school visits and school events sit away from each other. It's called parallel parenting.

I want to be free from having to communicate with her at all. It hurts to hear her happy voice.
I now have 7/7 for the month of May. I'm going to have to work with her to keep that schedule through summer.
Maybe her desires to GAL and see other men will give me more time with the kids. Painful as that is for me, I am adjusting slowly. Seeing her new guy friends hurts. I spent an hour screaming and crying into pillows.
I feel better afterwards but still stings.
Preparing to move into my new place and I'll have my kids. I'm trying to mentally prepare for this upcoming week. It's been awhile since I had them solo and even longer since I had them for a week straight.
Just trying to let go of my emotional co dependence on my wife. Be strong and independent. Unphased. Wish me luck.
