Trusting, I am so glad to see that he settled up the arrears and you can now breathe a sigh of relief.
I, personally, think he was testing you to see if you would be willing to change up and pick your daughter up. Once he realized that you were more than willing to pick her up, he opted to change the game. What he is doing is playing the distancer and pursuer game w/you. One time, they are nice as can be, and the next time, they are nasty. The only way to deal w/them when they are like that is to stay on course and do not react to their behavior. Once they see that you are not taking the bait, that behavior should change.
I admire your patience!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
