going through it now its been 9 months separated, have 50/50 temporary custody. working out the financials now. goes from being collaborative to cut throat as these things go

spending time with my kids is great, i am now more confident and up front about asking other parents from sports, school to schedule hang out times

question for others, when did you start being up front with teachers, other parents, common friends about the situation? i don't necessarily want to go into it, but its likely better people know than not.

unfortunately we still live together which hopefully should be resolved soon.

i dont really want 3rd parties trying to get us to change our minds (not saying that will happen) i dont want sympathy, etc. i also dont want parents to get freaked out if im trying to coordinate kids activities either

i also dont want my kids to be embarrassed or have to answer for this stuff...though it is normal or at least not uncommon. anyways, just wondering other guys opinion on this
