I saw H Sunday (he visits D's here every Sunday) and things were ok for the most part. He got quiet (even for him) in the evening and as he left I said "good-bye" and was met with silence as he closed the door (yes, heard me). I am beyond tired of his not responding to me. Aside from it being rude (which honestly, I could live with), I don't like the message it gives D's (it's ok, no to respond to Mom) and it's been an issue with D13. It would be typical of me to let it go (or if he hadn't closed the door say something like "okey dokey then") and I'm afraid we're getting to the point of his not being able to say little things to me let alone talk about the big things with regards to D's. While it's sad, he is their Dad and it would be nice if he talked to them (at least them) about what's going on with regards to school, boyfriends, C's etc. apparently he doesn't (from D's).
What am I looking for? Well, clearly what I've been doing isn't helping, so this is something different and I'm looking for a way to open up a dialog about D's.
