Glad to hear from you, FIB! Sounds like you are doing well. Good for you on filing the report against your ex! She's gotta learn sometime. I'm just sorry that she gave you, the kids, and your cousins such a fright....and that she gave you cause for having to file a report.
I'm thrilled that the kids are doing such a great job of keeping in touch w/you. You will find that boys don't communicate as much as girls. I hear from my daughter all the time when she is at her dad's; but, seldom from my son.
Remember ALWAYS that you are a VERY IMPORTANT part of your children's lives!! And, you are doing an EXCELLENT job! So proud of you!
