Thanks all. Most of this occurred over a passport issue. I am uncomfortable having the kids leave the country right now.
Ironically, I found her passport and returned it to her tonite...it expired in Aug '07.
I called two of my BetterMen tonite. You see, it still hurts in a way. I think it will for awhile. It doesn't cripple anymore tho'. I called...to get thoughts on how to NOT react..or...thru inaction....create more tension. There was a message here...in that expiration date.
Funny tho'...the posts here continue to shine thru...
I was going to confront her tonite...and tell her that noncommunication was unacceptable, that we have education,medical and other issues to discuss that can't be handled with texts...that I was NOT adversarial...that it was her inability to reconcile that got us here...and her failure to accept accountability...
....But.....didn't I say all this already? Doesn't she always threaten me with harassment or make an emotional scene when I have tried to communicate with her? Instead....instead of all the calls, advice, etc.......
I simply placed her expired passport on her nightable and when they all came home, I greeted my kids and cuddled them on the couch as we watched A Night At The Museum. I carried them up to bed.
I'm not sure if this was right....not sure if it wuss not to respond to what she said this morning or not.
I DO know that I love my kids....and that my daily time with them....is growing short....
...The hourglass is running out....
Thank you all for your continued support. I really need to keep my head up. My pain...is for my children now. FIB
