It was great - same as always. There is no real animosity between my son and d-i-l - so we are able to talk about all members of the family without worry. My grand-daughter stays with her daddy twice a week and is on the phone to him every day. She just thinks Daddy lives in a different house now, but as she has a room and some of her stuff there, she is happy. She wanted to call him today to tell him what we were doing, bless her. I guess, given the separation, which was more or less a joint decision, we are lucky. When I hear/read of the difficulties other people have then I thank my lucky stars. My d-i-l told me, just before I left, how much my gd loves being with me......that was really nice to hear.
It was weird though, she has made changes around the house - claiming her space I guess, it looked nice..............and yes, I did tell her so
Thanks for support gransnetters - always appreciated
