Gabe- Sorry to hear about your dad. I agree that big family moments bring home the sad fact of S and Divorce. I am reading your sitch and learning lots from it about me and my sitch. It will be hard to distance yourself from W while your dad is sick. Lots of self-care may be necessary right now! What can you do just for your own well-being (and no watching movies where the woman supports the H thru thick and thin, those depress everyone here on the BB!)bike ride, park with S5, picnic, special ice cream, watermelon, sparklers with him in your back yard, explore a tourist atraction nearby? Or simply a nap.
