It’s been two days and no reply. I wasn’t really expecting one but it would have been good.
I decided against thanking my H for taking/helping. From his perspective he was helping the kids not me, so not wanting to interfere with their relationships, it’s up to them to thank him. I did thank him for the one thing he did for me though. Then put in a short chatty bit about the wider family.
Trying hard to be loving from afar, I will keep Irish’s and Sanderik’s comments with me – it’s a good idea to keep thinking good thoughts and let my actions or interactions with others speak for themselves. I’m working hard to validate his actions to the wider family and am not being vindictive. Difficult though.
