Mdoodles, sorry I was not here this afternoon to help you.
I would have told you not to call or text H. Leave him alone.
I know too late this time, save the info for next time.
He also does not need to know when you're home or not. Leave the work to connect with you up to him. No notice, ideas or contact to him. Stop making contact completely.
I know this is hard, this is what you have to do.
H is no more appreciative right now towards you for you having made the contact to check up on him and his schedule to visit with you and son. They need to be on their own to do all the work themselves.
We have a hard time learning to stop coming to their rescue and try and fix the problems. I can't stress enough that it is hurting more than helping right now. I know this hurts. I know how you feel. I have been there for a very long time now. It gets easier.
Don't worry if you miss his call or are not at home when he decides the time is right for a visit. Don't plan your day around H. Let H figure it out. H will figure it out. If he's a last minute planner and you have other plans too bad for H. He will learn to be more prompt and considerate.
I am sorry you had a long day. All you can do is a little every day. If you don't get to family court tomorrow it will still be there on Monday.
I hope you don't think I am too rough on you. I care and want this to work out well for you.
Good night!!
Sanderika
