My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

There generally isn't much tension. He basically just behaves as if I don't exist. Generally tries to set up visitation thru D, altho I stopped that because it puts too much pressure on her. Picks her up in the driveway, never leaves the car, or we meet at a central spot and don't leave the car. Going to her events he will walk by me and sit alone. Most communication is via email or text. I think it's either discomfort from unconscious guilt at what he's done, or just absolute indifference; perhaps both. Which beats hostility, I suppose, but further feeds into my discomfort about being generally invisible. Which is my problem, no one else's.

I managed to get some of his remaining clothes out to him, as well as a box of books that had been sitting in my family room for the past month. Still have a huge pile of drumset sitting in my craft room taking up space.

Lots of serious, tragic social issues here at my school; kids living in vans, parents picking up kids too drunk to be driving, etc. Puts my life in perspective to a certain degree.
