You are living in an unhealthy situation. You are divorced, living on your own, Dan has a girlfriend, you are exploring the possibility of dating but you still remain conpletely attached to Dan, you let him get away with behaviours you wouldnt let your dad get away with, you are still hoping things will change and sabotaging your progress. And if that isnt correct, I would be thrilled to be wrong.
He is not letting go of you either. He called about the kids dealing with others, right after he found out you talked to his friend. Honestly, I could see that coming the minute you posted about Dan's friend. He got jealous. You know how little kids leave a toy and dont play with it, dont care about it for weeks, UNTIL another kid shows interest in it? You are still his property in his head. Break the cycle. You are divorced and need to move on.
Ohh, and your kids will ask HIM about Stephanie as well.They are not dumb. K
