Running out of time.

[Cie la vie]

Sounds like there is going to be some competition for the father of the year award.

I hope to be in the discussion down the road but it's a little early for me to be mentioned in your league. The 24/7 gig is the real deal.

Your children will recognize you as being the "rock"

I don't plan on giving them any reason not to think this, my W has her work cut out to match my effort. I don't see that happening given her current frame of mind.

What were the calls about?

The first call/voicemail was to tell me about the kids melting down at school on the first day coming from her apartment. She called me later to tell me what her new phone number was and she called again to let me know she had found the necklace I gave her for our 10 yr anniversary.

I would say that the calls will increase and become more frequent.

Well, she called today out of the blue to ask me how the weekend went with the kids and to see if I saw the list of bills I owe her for. I believe the money side of the call was the real reason she called. I ended the call rather than allowing her to end it. I'll read up on the boundary stuff and look into PDT posts to see how I should handle some of the future contacts.

One issue that I am struggling with is whether or not I should initiate setting up round three of the meidation or leave it up to her. Those people close to me who I have discussed this with feel I would be best served to move things along given her unstable financial situation and her behavior with OM. The feeling being the sooner I get things wrapped up signed and stamped the better off I am. The problem with that is it just pushes us closer to the end.
