Thank you Brooklyn, Everhopeful, Mila, and Punkin. Only those who have experienced this, can understand.
I do have a feeling my D12 didn't put up with a whole lot from ow. D is spunky and has no problem sticking up for herself. I do believe it comes from being the youngest.
Just journaling a bit here.
H picked up D12 last Sat. (D18 had to work.) Sunday is his usual day for visitation, but because it was Easter he took her on Sat. instead.
The unusual thing about this is that he kept her out from 9:00 am until 8:45 pm. H has never done this before. (not counting vacation) The most he has ever spent with the girls on his visitation is four hours. The usual is three.
H took D to get her hair cut and highlighted. He took her shopping and bought her a new Easter dress. They ran errands all day.
Another strange thing about all of this is that it was ow's day off. Where as beforehand H was really possessive about his and ow's free time, even to the point of blowing off the girl's and his time together.
ow texted H a lot during this time, but did not join them at any point. I do have to wonder if ow had had enough of D12 during vacation. LOL
Anyway, it made D12 feel good that her Dad made time with her a priority instead of the ow.
