Since meeting with WAW a couple days ago, there has been a marked increase in interaction between us...some contentious...some surprisingly friendly. No expectations either way.
As I suspected she pulled her attorney into the vehicle exchange terms after the fact and tried to manipulate that the exchange was breached due to “appearance” of her car. I kept to the facts, responded that her or my opinion doesn’t deviate the terms that were agreed on. I fully expect she will take it somewhere and try to stick me with the bill...yawn.
On S front, I texted w to see if I could take him to a hayride event some friends are having on Friday evening, which would be her night. I offered her one of my days in exchange...she promptly replied and agreed to allowing me to take him as long as I could bring him to her place after event and not take one of my days. Said she hoped we have fun. This is now 2 times I will see her FTF this week....more than last 7 months.
Took S trick or treating last night and ran into some of his friends and parents from his old school. Exchanged numbers with a mom and a dad to organize future play dates with the kids. This is a huge deal for me as I had been at a marked disadvantage in setting up play dates or activities that S can do with his friends vs. W. While in MR...she was the organizer of these things and I didn’t really know any of S’s friends parents, etc. Another win was the loads of candy S scored. Said it was his best Halloween ever!! Felt good to continue to develop GAL activities with S that aren’t strictly him and I.
Another development is some of the increased attention I’ve gotten from various single women. One from my divorce care group particularly asked me to dinner. The attention is nice, is a confidence boost...but not sure I want to go down that road yet. It does give me further assurances that my life is going to be awesome either way.
