I totally understand you wanting that sort of card from H, but also not wanting to see him/needing space from him. Its because our H's aren't at that spot where they want to work on the relationship with us. We are temporarily abandoned and that's hard. Especially during big ol' milestones, like a 10th anniversary. I will be thinking of you and hope the day is easy for you.

H is coming by tonight. he feels rotten about how things went with the kids, particularly how things ended yesterday when he left.
This is good. I think (don't kill me) you can let up on the reminders that its hard on the kids (especially S5, so sorry about that!!!) because he is realizing it, BIG time. And you know that they hate hearing stuff from us. Also, thinking back when he calls to say hi to them or goodnight to them, I wonder if those 'iffy' moods can be traced back to him really missing them? I hope so, the fool.
