I'm Back after 1st DB (4)

[Traveler]

It does seem that since we both agree on D, and she's making an effort to exclude me, that I don't factor her into anything.

Exactly.

I was just thinking from a 180 POV that I've historically been passive on organizing family events, so as something different, I'd suggest something with all 5 of us.

If you're going to make any 180s now, I'd focus on ones that will help with co-parenting, such as listening/validation, dropping control/manipulation, and setting boundaries.

But let me do it with just the kids, and not her.

Great!

It doesn't make sense considering the current climate. She's still trying to pick fights to the point where D1 says "I never said that, you are exaggerating Mom."

Attachment--reliving your grievances, factoring them in.

I'm so thrilled to get back in touch with old friends, and to GAL like 300% more than where I was two months ago.

That's great! It's a process. (:
