A good friend told me today " I think your XH texts your D's as a way to stay in touch. He's had time to think about what he gave up and lost, and this is his only way to reach out." Sure enough, when I got back to work, the SOB had emailed ME. Wanted to know if I had everything out of the house, and could he go through it before it was auctioned. First off, I have exclusive rights to the house until it is sold/auctioned, that is months down the road, and he cares WHY?? Then, he signs it ____________. His nickname as a child. He is in full denial that he is a grown grandfather about to retire, whose body is shot. I replied, gracefully, that I was not finished, still had some things to box up for sale, move to my new house, etc. Signed it Punkin H___ ( my maiden name) I guess if he can be six years old, so can I. He reaches out to the girls, then to me. Is he crazy? No, don't answer that. I already know the answer. We have 12 grandchildren together, and are about to have 3 more in the next eight months. Most of them haven't seen him in almost 2 years. I asked my 4 yo gs who a pic of Santa was, and he said "Papa?" Not even close. AARRGGHH!
