Limboland part 4

Thanks Steelersfan. I am going to send just a card with a brief Happy Bday note. I guess I am feeling really negative about sending him anything about DD. He never replies. I think I could tell him that she is in the hospital and he wouldn't reply. I told him about her being diagnoised with ADD. nothing. Over the year I sent pictures by mail and email, nothing. How long can he expect to not saying anything and just get to know? I am not against him knowing or telling him anything but at the same time I should get a nod that he received it at least. How hard is it to say "got it, thanks?" I expect a child to do that. Why not him? He doesn't even fully support her financially. Yes, I guess I am feeling angry but I don't expect much. I have never expected much from him. Maybe that is where I went wrong. He stopped opening the car door for me. I didn't say anything. When I saw him go around and the car door for the woman he took to the theater, I realize that I was allowing him to disrespect me and that took away from him too. I think men need to feel "knightly" and protective. I don't know how to do that now with him in no contact. I asked him for help, nothing. I don't know how to get him to respond!
