What a surprise to see you here. I don't come out to the boards very often anymore, mostly just to check on my sis. Nice to hear from you.
Your relationship with your ex sounds so much better than it did the last time we talked (which was about 3 years ago). And it sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your daughters which is what it's all about. 5 and 7? Wow....time sure does go by fast. If you can believe it, mine are now 16, almost 13 and 11. Enjoy the time you spend with them as it goes by so fast.
I remember the many conversations that we had discussing our exes, our children, etc. in the chatroom, camping and at the beach. As I recall, during almost all of those conversations, your interest lay in reconciling with your ex. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Having said that, maybe it's because your focus is no longer on her but more on your daughters and your new relationship, that your ex is doing her "power trips" with you. Maybe it's an attention ploy or maybe it's just her way of exercising her control over your relationship with the girls. Maybe she's just looking for a reaction from you. Those are just my thoughts.
It sounds like the communication between the two of you is good. You did say that you speak to her on the phone or through emails. Is there any reason why you can't continue to communicate about the girls that way? Why do you want to meet with her to discuss the girls? I'm just curious because I would much rather email with my ex concerning the kids than meet with him. Not only is my life too busy to arrange a meeting but seeing him every other weekend is more than enough for me, thanks...lol
Anyways, I wish you good luck with everything. It was great hearing from you.
And hi to Daybreak (ANewBob)! I always wondered how you were. I have great memories of our beach trip and I still have a picture of me on the balcony of our beach house with the "Bobs" (you and Berto being two of them).
