Ugh! I am so frustrated! H called today to check on D2. She has asthma, and it has REALLY been flaring up the past week or so. She has woken up with an asthma attack every night for 3 nights. I told him what the doc said (new meds and no outside time). Then he told me that he told S4 that he would try to come visit him tomorrow. I said "That is fine. I can cook dinner if you want." He said that he was only going to stay a few minutes, not for dinner. I told him that the kids really wanted to spend some time with him, not just a few minutes. That is when the convo went downhill. I said "Do you still think the kids are not ready to spend time as a family?" He said that it wasn't the kids that weren't ready, it was him. I asked if he was really THAT uncomfortable around me, and he said it wasn't a case of "uncomfortable", it is a case of "space". I said "Meaning you need some space from me?" and he said yes. Then he said we would talk later. I texted him and told him not to worry about coming tomorrow night. He texted back that we would talk later. I texted back "Seriously, don't worry about it. We don't need to talk about it" His response was "OK"....and with that I am going dark. I am not answering the phone if he calls. I am not going to see him at all. If he wants space, that is what I am going to give him. It will probably do us some good. I just don't understand why he says that he wants to be friends for the kids, but he will not actually do it. I don't know what else to do besides go dark.
