This morning around 10 am STBX called me and I had a feeling I should answer the phone. I did and she told me that D14 was having a meltdown and they had been talking since 6 am.
She said that D14 wanted to come over to my house and talk to me, to get things off her chest. I thought this was a good thing, and I did not ask STBX what they had talked about.
She sounded pretty tired and I went to pick up D14.
D14 and I talked on the way back to the house. She basically said she has been stressed out, is worried something is going to happen to me and is upset that we are getting divorced. She's having trouble with her schoolwork and is depressed.
I listened and validated and she seemed to feel better. I think she must have gotten most of it out with her mom.
She's in better spirits now after being here all day. I really think she is moving back towards me and our real home again. This time I won't screw it up for her.
STBX called me a while ago to tell me that she called the school counselor to have a meeting to help us figure out how to get her back on track academically. So we're meeting her tomorrow morning at 8 to see what we can do for D14.
