haha Pilot! What I want to know is this: where the hell can you find a man sized one piece Ninja turtle pajama with feet!!??? Awesome.
If I could I would post pictures from today. Haha, all the moms were loving it. They were all saying how their husbands were too boring to do it and I win dad of the year for doing this with my kiddo. Oh, W just happened to be right there at the time listening to it all.

Love it! And can I just add that I think it was very good of you, Pilot, to meet with WAW's parents like that and bring some closure to them. This has been an ordeal for my parents and MIL. I hope they get some closure, too.

FYI update. I told you all W has been sending friendly 'conversation opening' texts. I have actually been more receptive to them now that I have filed. Lately she sends me a daily 'flashback' photo of the kiddos from when they were newborns/very very young.
I may actually offer an olive branch because of the holidays. Her father turns 60 on the 23rd. They live 4 hours away, and I have the kiddos that week. I spoke to her aunt to find out if there was a family party and she said yes, but it is this Friday. Well, I know W is not taking the kids on Friday. So I had thought about talking to her mom to set up a surprise where I would bring the kids to see her dad on his bday. Family is still very important to my inlaws and I know it would mean a lot to him. Not committed to doing this, but it occurred to me that I should probably at the very least let W know about it and offer to let her come along.

Things are looking pretty interesting in your corner, Pilot!
As I said earlier, I think you handled the inlaws with grace. Everyone is different of course but one of the things I always found attractive about my H was how he treated by parents (kind, respectful). So I like your idea of taking the kids out to see grandpa for his b'day. Shows you are committed to family, too. Agreed it would be a good idea to tell W. It seems you are on pretty friendly terms right now so shouldn't be an issue, right?

Another update. Still proceeding with divorce. Although she continues to drag her feet. She is almost 2 months late turning in her discovery answers. We had a trial date set for a week ago, so obviously we missed it. Odds are we would not have made it anyways. She did get served on Dec. 17...the day after my last update.
I did find out something which blew my mind. I am hesitant to post it online though on the off chance she has found this site. Ill post about it at a future date though for sure. But for now lets just say 100% confirmation on A.
Her demeanor is as pleasant as it has been since oh December or so. She is all smiles and initiates conversations freely at events we attend together (usually kid/school things). She sends random friendly text and sometimes sends 'reminiscent' texts...usually at night. In fairness I do reply to her texts and have on occasion sent non kid related texts, such as maybe a hot donut I just got from Krispy Kreme.
On my personal level, I really have reached that level of emotional detachment where I am ok with life as it is. I am looking forward to my future. I do wish she would not drag her feet on the D as it does cause inconveniences in moving forward.
Not sure what else to say right now so I will leave it at this and go search out my old DB buddy stories and see how everyone else is doing these days.
Best wishes to all!!!
I hope all my old DB buddies are doing well. I have not been on this site since my last update in December. Not that I gave up caring about you guys, but when you drop the rope and you are truly done, part of it is dropping here.

Thanks for the update, Pilot! Sounds like you are in a good place which ever way this goes. Good for you. I'm in less of a good place right now but know my time will come eventually.

Good to hear from you Pilot. I mentioned your name just the other day in a post.
haha, I hope it was not too bad!
