Wow -- all in agreement. As Moms you know we can turn into lions protecting our cubs. But you are right, not going to try and smooth the path for him and his actions. He tends to avoid confrontations so I am not sure if he will follow through on his latest idea.
I know he will come to me first and try to "get me on his side" to help him with setting up the visit. I will take the high road and tell him if he wants to come fine but I am not telling her anything.
Got D15 report card last night and went to see her teachers at Open house. They all told me they noticed a big improvement in her class work (focus) and her grades have gone up since report card grades were in. I had been in to see the counselor at school and talked to all her teachers when H left. Now you have to understand this kid was an honor student and is in a university prep program where she earns college credits. Her grades were 78, 65, 73, 63!!! I can't ground her because I know how she is struggling with this Divorce and she feels abandoned by her father. This year has been h#ll for her.
She is also in a speech class and last night she asked me to print off a survey for her. I asked what her topic she chose..."divorce". OMG. I think she is using this as a step to deal with this. It has had such a profound effect on her. Do these selfish WS realize the pain they cause to their children?
Appreciate all of your support and agree with your answers.
