I guess it is something similar, here. I won't be yelled at again. I won't be desperate or begging again (finally, I know). My question, now, is what communication there will be at all. I plan on keeping it to email.
I sent a brief one yesterday:
Happy Father's Day. Thank you for helping me bring these two wonderful kids in the world and my life. Hope you enjoy your day.
I got: thank you!! back.
I spent the day with my family at a grad party; lots of good food, company and dancing!
Now, I just have to continue to concentrate on grace...
