I have just had a telephone conversation from my eldest daughter. She tried to ring her dad on his birthday and he wasn't answering his phone. She then texted him to say she had called and hoped that he would have a nice day. He then texted her back saying 'I am having a nice day. Dad'
It is hard on the children as she is angry with him for not telephoning her and doesn't know how he can't be bothered to speak to his children on his birthday. They don't understand where he is at the moment. All I can do is to ask them to be tolerant of him at the moment as he comes to terms with moving out.
