Thanks and I feel like maybe you didn't know that I always felt that way. I want to see my kids including my stepson. I want to see her and would everyday if I could without causing a push away; but I know that it isn't there yet. So, as much as I want this and want to see them, things like last night are a good thing; but I worry that it may have repercussions of too much time together!!! lol

FOr instance, I get my kids Every Thursday and every other weekend. As well as every other TUesday when I don't see them on the weekend. And now, I started working out with my stepson on Mon, Wed and Fri. and then drop him off at her house. That means that other than The weekends I don't have the kids, I see her more than I ever did and that is not my intention; but it is how it is because of these things. I just don't want to overload her and scare her off; because as you say and I realize, she is still working things in her mind.
