XW told me she was on the phone w/the police, but everything was ok w/her and D. She called back and filled me in and it turned out she had called the police b/c a little girl in D's Kindergarten class was left alone while her mother went to the store.
This has apparently happened several times before as the mother leaves her alone in the apartment and goes on dates on the weekends. From what I gathered, this mother is a user as well as an alcoholic.
So, tonight, the little 5-year-old was barefoot out in the complex and knocking on everyone's doors asking for money. XW was freaked out (she's a drama queen anyway) and she called the police. They showed up right away but XW was then scared about the woman going off on her for calling the police on her.
I let XW talk and talk and told her she did the right thing to call. I also said that if things got "hairy" I could be there in 15 minutes b/c I know they live by the school somewhere and it takes me 15 minutes to get to the school from here.
XW was surprised I said that and I told her "of course I'd be there to protect my daughter." XW then asked if things got rough if they could come here and I told her I would never turn my daughter away when she needed me.
Funny how important I've become again now that BF #2 is out of the picture.
Anyway, XW then sends a text thanking me for supporting her and for making D a "priority" this week. I told her I only wish I had more days off to spend w/D like I did this week.
So, it was weird to say the least and I'm wondering what shoe will drop next.
Don't worry as I'm no longer an idiot and I realize this will only last as long as XW is single, but I had to let her know that if D was in danger, I WANTED TO KNOW about it 1st!
After that, I watched the Seattle Mariners game on the internet (MLB TV is awesome - and cheaper than buying the games from the cable company) and now I'm heading to bed.
I didn't go to the gym today b/c I really didn't want to do much of anything. So, I'll hit it tomorrow and get 4 workouts in this week. Better than 3 and much better than none at all, right?
