Ugghhh, is what I feel at times - reason.....There are times she is cool on the phone.....and others.....Well, unfriendly. I even told her about this....but, she flipped it and said, "Now you know how I felt".......DAMN. I apologize every chance I get, but I guess she is fed up with apologies.
As for the make two homes - I do. I buy them clothes, make sure they have shoes that fit. I do their hair ( I had to learn how very fast - my sister showed my basic hairstyles for girls ). I am the father and mother to our girls when they are with me. I never bad mouth their mother when they are with me.
When I pick them up. I normally would change their clothes right away, and have them wear clothes from my place ( which they tend to enjoy ). Just this weekend, when I picked them up, I went right away to Joey's, my brother in-laws best friends house to enjoy the 4th of July weekend; I brought change of clothes, and thought I had brought enough undies, but I guess I didn't. I did have pull-ups for the youngest for that just in-case emergency, and for our oldest, a new pair.
As for winning her back, I guess there is a little voice in me that says.....patience you never know.....but at times, reality kicks me in the nuts and says.....this is where you are!
Thanks for your response.....would like to hear yours and others.
