Just popping in really quick.

So...H told DD that he was going to be over today and he's a no show. Ahhhhhhh!!!! I haven't called him or texted him and DD doesn't seem to notice, but I'm upset. Disrespecting and disappointing me is one thing, but do NOT do that to our DD. If you tell her you are going to come over, then your ass better show up! Boundary time! What should I say to him?

Maple Gal, here are some quick suggestions on books - these are bascially about feelings, but there are also very good books written for little ones about separation/divorce/having 2 homes/changes/loss.

When I Feel Sad - Spelman & Parkinson
When I Feel Angry - Spelman & Cote
When I Feel Scared - Spelman & Parkinson
When I Miss You - Spelman & Parkinson

And a good one for adults is Helping Your Kids Cope with Divorce the Sandcastles Way - Neuman.

Gotta run, time for dinner. I'll check back tonight.
