Dad is continuing to feel better. He's quicker, more alert, sleeping less.
H called this weekend to talk to the kids. Very short, curt. Let the kids take the phone and "aha", he was visiting GF and had her on speaker phone with him. My two older kids talked, but my youngest wouldn't talk to her. Kept telling X that she would talk to him but not her.
They used to LOVE seeing her and spending time with her. She hasn't been around for any of their visits though lately, so I can understand. Plus, I think he involves them too much in his grown up life problems.
So today, on his way home, he called again, but this time he asked to talk to me. It reminded me of when we were still married and he would go to lunch with me on Friday but disappear after work and then resurface on Sunday night wanting to talk. He wouldn't even acknowledge me on the phone when gf was there with him, but all buddy-buddy tonight in the airport on his way home. I would think that a good R with me would important enough for him to tell her, "Things work best for the kids when BT and I can communicate and cooperate."
Maybe once they work out their issues, they can get to that place, but right now, he has to deny that he and I talk, get along with each other, cooperate for the sake of the kids. Hey, if my BF's XW was as fantastic as I am, I'd be nervous too. he he
I'm not an expert, but I've been there. And I survived.
