THanks guys - I took your advice and bought me D some flowers and candy and told her she was my valentine today and always and she loved it. We ended up having a nice night. It did not bother me as much as I thought it would. Had some contact with H. My D was sick with strep and I emailed to let him know and all of a sudden he was really nice and volunteered to come to the house and watch her while I went to work. Well I made sure I looked great and I was very nice and cordial and he came in the house with a ticked off attitude so I called him from work and said why did you offer to help if you were going to act this way. He thinks I am trying to get sole custody of our D and not let him see her - I explained since being in court on 2/5 that my lawyer said that becuase he has not seen his D in a month and has barely showed interest and we can not communicate and that is no way to have joint custody. So he kept telling me to call him the next day but I did not understand why we could not talk right now - so I said ok and when I got home he walked right out the door without even a goodbye. So I did not call him. Then surprisingly he left a message apologizing for his rude behavior and that he wants joint custody and to please call him. I emailed him and said thats fine and thankyou for your message - let me know about set visitation. He just emailed back - call me. Im trying not to read into this but why all of a sudden does he want to talk to me on the phone when we have been strictly emailing? Is he doing this becuase hes afraid I will persue sole custody - why not just express his concerns in an email - why does he want me to call him?
