Despite the awkwardness that is settling in between us, we’re trying to keep thing relatively normal for the kids. We were planning a road trip to see my mother in law and so off we went.

The drive actually went quite smoothly. It was a 2 hour long drive and even though we haven’t clear things up, there wasn’t much tension.

To be honest, despite all this, there never has been much of a tension between.

That is the only ‘good’ thing about all this. We are not fighting, screaming, cursing or anything like that. We are simply talking calmly. Yes at times we do cry and get emotional but most of the time we are both talkable – for now.

Since it was a day trip, we went back home the same day. Only to get back into our own room once we got home.

Sad habit, but that’s the way it has been for more than a little while now. A few years actually. I’ll never get use to it, but she needs her space, so I’ll respect that.
