So IC has encouraged me to respond positively and agree when it works for me to some activities with W and with her and our family given some of our particular dynamics with some significant special needs in our kids. As I have mentioned a bit, W has been demonstrating much more desire to engage with kids, family and me. She has been proposing ideas of things for us to do together with our kids and some with her and I in social group settings. So far I have been busy, not available and not interested. I’m doing all those things (GAL, family etc) without her.

So I have agreed to a weekend away with her coming up in a social group setting with recreation and our kids will participate for some of the time on and off. I’m going in with an open mind and zero expectations. W and I have been coordinating some details. This is meant as an experiment for me to go into as a dad/ community member and have a great time followed by continuing to have a great time on my own after the weekend.

Will update you all and see how my 2x4 dodging skills are.
