normal dinner with STBX & kids

Well, the dinner last night went very well. Probably helped that one of our mutual friends (also newly separated) joined us. Kids were relaxed, I was relaxed, STBX cooked, everyone was comfortable. Our mutual friend has been very supportive throughout this whole ordeal with my STBX's charges, and finally STBX is reaching out to friends. Makes it easier on me :) Hopefully this is how we can maintain a relationship with no strings attached. I am still cautious though, but it was great for the kids, which is the most important thing (even though they are older 23 & 19!) Thanks for everyone's support, it means a whole lot!

Great news!


I dream of something like this one day--but then again, if my H were capable and wanted to act this way, I guess we wouldn't be headed to divorce court.


Anyway, so glad it was relaxed and not stressful!

he drove me crazy, wouldnt leave, finally both of the kids said they were going into town so i took the dogs out for a walk on the property and he finally left
