Now I am working on making my own significant events happen rather than waltzing around them! Started my new job this week....just transitioning because I still have my old job! It will be a healthy change for me for I already feel more job satisfaction in just 3 days!
No change with D17 and her dad except he asked her to go on a 3 day vacation with "them" at the end of July. Of course, it's around their schedule, not D17's. He wants her to skip one day of her art program......why couldn't he plan to go one day later (or leave at 3pm instead of 9am?)instead of asking her to do that?
I'm also a bit jealous about the effort he is making in planning things with GF. They have taken more vacations this past year than we did in 5 years. I wanted to send him an email congratulating him on putting so much effort into his new relationship......but I didn't! Just the other day D17 told me she didn't think her dad would ever be happy. She says things now and then, but I am trying to be really good about not asking her anything.
I haven't told ex H about my new job. I know he'll just want to know how much money I am making and see if he can stop making payments! I thought I'd wait until I am there full time and then I'll give him the new phone number for emergencies.
