You're right, I need to stick to my path and stop trying to second guess what is motivating H.
I'm taking the kids out to see football today and to visit their grandparents. The weather is beautiful and we will have a full day. No idea when H will contact us again, although he does usually get in touch on a Sunday.
Advina, thanks so much for sharing your counsellor's advice about the kids. S13 asked me if he should ask his dad why he doesn't show up when he says he's going to and I said Yes.
