Okay to update what happened yesterday. He did not return call. We had a minor incident with youngest daughter, she decided to let a friend drive her sister's car without permission. I called H to talk to him about it and see how we should handle it. I couldn't get ahold of him. Oldest D was very mad at younger D and also tried to call her dad. He didn't answer and she left him a message saying something to the effect, thanks for being around Dad when I need you. He called me and asked what was going on. I told him and then I said I thought you were going to call me back. He said I'm so sorry after cleaning up the shop I laid down and fell asleep and left my phone plugged up in the other room. He said I will be over there in a minute and we can decide what to do. We decided we talk to her and tell her the insurance risk and such and that if it ever happened again she would be grounded. He ended up staying the night and was very sweet and we ML. Today he went to his shop to change the oil in the vehicles one of them being D's. I called him and told him I had gotten him lunch. He ate then went back to the shop to do some work. I ended up taking a nap. I woke up and needed to go to the grocery store. When I walked outside he was out there weedeating the yard! I cooked a nice dinner and he stayed and watched TV afterwards. He just left and said I will be back later. I said okay I'll see later. I did not ask him where he was going. Baby steps. Patience, Patience, Patience!
