Hi Jackie, I been lurking around, been doing this too long to bump my own thread. I had a summer flying job lined up but then the work didn't materialize so I spent most of the summer with s6. WAW and s6 are still living with her dad, she talked about moving to her own place but I didn't want s6 to change schools and so nothing has changed in that department. He is in a really good school and I think we're both happy about that, just started grade 1. This might be a DBing first, certainly something to shake your head about - I went to drop off s6 one day and got invited to my WAW's boss's 40th birthday party (waw got s6 to ask me) so why not?? We had cedar planked salmon, baked oysters and tons of other food. His friends made him a pinata with those mini bottles of booze, none of which broke somehow when beaten with a stick. For those not familiar with my sitch my WAW's boss her sister's ex. and they had at least an emotional affair when this all started two years ago.
More recently, WAW contacted me about helping with s6 before and after school as her job is very long hours and her dad isn't going to be available every day. Last year she had quite a few people doing favours for her in this regard and I think they are mostly used up. I told her I would be happy to, if she could help out in the money department. So I'm happy we are headed in this direction. S6 is doing fine, he is still quite sad when I drop him off, but no scenes like last year. Still going to church with s6 every sunday, I have him FRi-Sun every weekend and most of the week during the summer. Last night WAW was working late so I took him to her Dad's, who made us dinner, then went grocery shopping while I gave s6 a bath and put him to bed. Then I helped grandpa with his digital camera then went home to bed.
