I agree. Go ahead and start planning the party for your child.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Party booked! I let daughter choose place and she even went through the website and picked out some things on her own. Shes thrilled. Sent W a text and she was thankful. She offered help but I declined. Also told her she was invited and she seems interested.
Nice job! Your daughter will enjoy herself. I'm glad you let her mother know and you invited her.

In this case, I would just maybe tell her to save the date and an invitation will follow.
If she asks if she can help, just say thanks, but you have everything under control.

W has accepted an invitation to the party. I hope she can hold it together.
I reached out to her to say I still care and let me know if she needs anything. She responded by saying it's tough for all of us and she is going through her own emotional journey and doesn't need to share the pain of mine. She added she will be returning the gifts I got for her over the past few months, including the theme park season pass-not to be vindictive but so she can show ability to support herself. I wonder if that will extend to her request for spousal support?
I get the kids this weekend and will take them out to pick some party decorations and such.
Meeting with Atty Friday to discuss the case. I will likely end up getting the house back, which I don't really want.
I view her desire for some financial independence is good
Part of her journey is figuring herself out
Who she is without you
Have no expectations on it extending to suppprt

So the returned gifts include a bag, perfume and season pass to a theme park. No gift cards. I'm not angry, just thought maybe she had a moment of clarity for once.
On the plus side, house has an interested buyer and I'll pray they make an offer.
I'm sorry she returned the gifts, but maybe she felt that they were too personal for her at the moment. The gift cards...well...she needs them to purchase whatever her fancy is at that time. Now you know not to purchase anything personal or season passes for her in the future. She doesn't want any reminders of your when she looks at those gifts. The woman only wants money, i.e., which are not "in the face" reminders of you.
Good luck with the home offer.
