she e-mailed me to let me know I could talk to the kids on the phone this Sunday. Though the e-mail was nasty, accusing me of harassment over the e-mails & phone calls I made last week trying to get ahold of the kids (the bishop actually told me that when her father described my "bad" behavior, he thought "that sounds like a father trying to get in contact with his kids, not an evil monster harassing a family" - clearly her and her parents have decided everything I do is done maliciously.
My guess is that they went to the attorney to demonstrate my bad behavior, and she told them they had to allow me contact with the kids. But I don't know for sure. She is sure acting like letting me talk to the kids on the phone (after three months of totally cutting off contact) is a huge favor to me and I'm really putting it upon her.
Her parents have so poisoned her mind against me - I reread some of the earlier e-mails, and they were hesitant, unsure, and vacillating about her decision. But about a month ago, they turned downright nasty and mean. She has no good memories anymore, and I can guess it comes from her parents constantly bad mouthing me. Heaven knows what it's doing to the kids.
I guess I'll see if it actually happens this Sunday, and how the kids sound.
