She brought the kids over, walked around my place a bit, and asked if I have been tanning? I said yes, she said you look orange, I laughed and said well im not pale anymore. She then just kind of hung around not saying much, it was awkward for her i think, She then asked me to follow her down to get S backpack. I did and let the kids go to the playground. got the backpack and she asked if she could borrow some tools to hang some stuff. Here she is telling me she has all these neighbors helping here and there, but needs to borrow a drill from me? I didnt say much just that it is fine.
She was just standing there and then went to her car and sat in her car for a good 5 minutes, I played with the kids and ignored her she drove away.
All good on this end....
And that's how it's done SON!
;-)
Yeah I'm sure it felt awkward for her, reality set in pretty quickly when she saw that you have your own place, a place where the kids will live with you when they're not with her, a taste of reality and how it will be, where she won't see the kids everyday, something she was willing to subject you to but feels very different when she experiences this feeling, especially since you won't settle for crap anymore, you won't take the dictated schedule she's been trying to push on you which is:
"....you never get to see the kids but you can call them and I can supervise you and put you speakerphone and censor anything horrible you might say to the kids about me keeping them away from you..."
I'm glad you're not angry, vindictive or spiteful, she most probably acts that way to hurt you to see if in fact she can get to you, the best thing you can do is to wear a great big grin on your face that says "life is really good without you!", borrowing her the drill was a nice touch, make sure you remember to pick it up when you drop the kids off at her place the next time you see her ;-)
