"On vacation". Went into city with visitors. Kids asked if H was going to see them, we worked it out so he met us and walked around for a few hours while we were all in town.

Then, neighbors had a crazy fight and I late night texted H/talked briefly on the phone. It was super upsetting and scary. I probably shouldn't have called H, but when there are cops in your nice, quiet neighborhood at 2 am....

So, I sent 1-2 pics of the kids ystdy while on the road (rather than usual update/progress calls)/let D make a very short call to say gnight and tell him we'd finished our day of driving and the rental house is great. He texted back, thanks/please send pics/have fun.

I'm not going to, I don't think. No texts/calls today. I did send a 1 line email to pls tell mil that she could see pics on a file sharing site.

So, still trying to cut myself off more. I can do better/detach and not let this get to me.

Vacation is hard - dummy would have loved this trip. It is right up our mutual alley. smile name calling is a joke. Been around little kids.
