Yes, maybe we are both crazy!?! I agree it is a pathetic way to interact and I am done doing it. No more tears for me.
My life is full. And, good. Thankful I am able to enjoy all of these milestones with my kids. Wouldn't miss them for the world.
So...here is my plan that is in line with the email I sent him.

I will only contact him by email if it concerns finances. Then I will add in something about the kids. Milestones, activities, etc. That is the only time I will contact or dicuss our family unless he contacts us and brings it up.

HOw does that sound?

I still hold on to hope. I really believe he isn't done. He just doesn't know what he is.

I am still working on forgiveness. Hoping that will help with the tears. It is just when we talk about the kids it hits such a place in my heart I can't help it. But, I do need to control that.

No more reaching out to him.
He truly is the loser in all of this.

We will be okay.

I will not go back to living the way we were before. That I know. He needs to want to get the help- not me not his kids.
