Limbo over, now separated but in lockdown (part 3)

[may22]

On #1– don’t ask. Let it be his thing with his IC. If he wants to share with you, great— otherwise my advice is let it be. It may take a long time for progress for him too. I feel like asking is pressure.

On #2– that’s a hard one. My basic advice is don’t do anything you don’t want to. So if it feels uncomfortable and you don’t like it— end it. Pick up a book and read. Tell him you’re so sorry but you need to go start dinner/catch up on work/paint your toenails/whatever. You have no obligation to entertain him.

My kids are probably out of school till September too, though their school will do a distance learning camp. We may not go on the big summer trip after all which I haven’t had to be the one to voice the possibility of cancellation, which is interesting. Feel like it might be a long, hot summer with lots of uncertainties for all of us.
