Doing the "Friends" Route Pt 2...

[Abbey]

H had a good day with daughter yesterday. He still doesn't quite see that OW saying she would probably MEET him at the day care (but then showing up at the regular time - some 5 hours later) wasn't manipulation, nor IMO child abuse. She'd rather H drive the baby around for 5 hours with diarrhea than bring her home somewhere where she's comfortable???? .. Anyway... He's already talking about bringing her home here though if she's sick the next time. His words: F her.

(OW doesn't know that H brought daughter to go see his sis in law)... nor does she know that he's made plans for me to meet her next week. (I'm remaining optimistic, but know this can change like the wind).

This morning, called me his cougar again and flirted. He then proceeds to talk about getting custody, and going to his lawyer. He's going to give OW, X amount of time to tell her H that his daughter is my husbands. (He's still making deals with God at this point... if this, then I'll do that. Those deadlines as I've seen in the past always are moveable until he's backed into a corner.)

I guess the heart felt talk got through Thursday night. Especially me reiterating that WE are the best chance his daughter has at a happy ... HEALTHY family life. He actually had convinced himself that it was I who didn't want anything to do with a child. I just kept saying, family, family, family. He called me his angel that night, and said this year was going to be long and difficult because he has to do this ... his way.

I'm off to see if I can find a line of clothing that daughter will especially like.
