Sorry to hear about the bad day, it happens but man it really is unpleasant. Regarding your earlier question:

Anyone at a similar stage still engage in family activities with kids? Has it caused any problems?
My ex and I continued to have joint birthday parties and Christmas exchanges after BD, throughout S and D and continue it to this day. Early on we agreed that we would always be united for the kids and that's how we treat those events- we are coming together not for each other but for our kids. Two weekends ago my mom had her 80th birthday and my sister organized a surprise party and my ex helped plan it and went to it even though it was a 300 mile drive one way. I'm sure that sounds crazy to a lot of people here and I'm not suggesting everyone should do it, I'm just saying it is possible to have joint activities peacefully should you choose to do so. But they key is you have to have zero expectations that it means anything.
