As the kids are scheduled with me Christmas week I propose the following changes
Christmas eve: spend 1-6 with you returning to me for the evening
Christmas day: with me until pick up to go to yours for lunch 1pm and stay night
Boxing day: return to mine 1pm
With the reverse happening next year
With regard to NYE , I do have plans and would like to keep my invitation
There are 2 more dates you have entered in the cosi app for 15th and 16th December, if your plans still stand I am happy to have the kids on those dates.
Does this work for you?
Regards J
Is that any better?
Today's seemed really tough emotionally, a lot of work related messages from her more than 30 through the day And all generally friendly while being focused on work, I've stayed brief and positive in responses
Then I attended first counselling session this afternoon, I just offloaded everything but felt good to get everything off my chest, will see how it goes but felt emotionally raw afterwards.
Returned to work and messages start up again about kids prior to exchange for them to come to mine. Pick my daughter up from school and go food shopping with agreement I would message when home so wife could drop son and their belongings off. I'm maybe 20mins longer than I planned, stream of messages and 3 missed calls asking if everything is ok?
I ignored and messaged when I got back as planned. Then when she drops off it's back to no eye contact and her being on edge again, not wanting to enter flat until I say it's ok to go say bye to d6. She leaves, within 30 mins there's friendlyish messages and thumbs up emojis about some play dates and a few forgotton items.
Almost overly friendly and accommodating, know she will be going out and hitting the town tonight and tmrw. Just usual uncertainty and rollercoaster, reacting to stuff outside my control and trying to make sense of things that are senseless.
