Praying for Light at the end of the Tunnel

Hi Grace,
I think just mentionning H -explaining his behavior, or mentionning how they'll split their time between me and him in the future..upsets D12. She hasn't forgiven him for leaving again after moving home. She's mad at both me and H for turning her world upside down..but she lives with me(for now) and would rather avoid her father altogether.

It may be the age of D12 or the MLC or just their prior 'rocky' relationship, but it seems that H has a harder time empathizing with D12, with communicating with her..he often gets angry with her rejection of him...

D12 often reminds H of himself at her age..the things he disliked about himself he attacks in D12.. They are the most similar in many ways.

I have stepped out of the middle there.

I haven't mentionned H except to confirm he contacted both girls yesterday via text to have them join him in looking at another condo he may rent. H hasn't talked to me about this at all.

Last week I put out an invitation for H to join me and D12 to find out information on a educational summer trip she was invited to participate in..H said he'd like to go and I hadn't responded with a time..so I got an email yesterday asking if I still was Ok with him going and if so, what time would we go... of course, D12 doesn't want him going, but he is her father and this trip would affect both of our finances..so I told him a time and he responded that he'll pick us up and we'll all go together.

Nothing else going on. I'm going out to dinner with a girlfriend tonight and probably won't see H...Life keeps on going on..
