When tapestries of life get tangled in the loom.

[Big Bruce]

All great advice, thank you,

Got it. Young Bruce has to be perfect when I return him.
I will buy him extra clothes too, and diapers. (she usually gives me a bag, with diapers in it, a changing mat -that I lost last time- and his milk made of formula and natural milk).

Today she wrote she hadn't heard from me (well yeah, I have detached) and asked to postpone the visit. I wrote back no problem.

Then I wrote another email, saying that when I bring S back I try for him to be clean, and I didn't see his wet socks, and I know that traces in the bum can cause a painful rash. And also that the muffin he had was just a crumb and I avoid fatty food for him --> This will reassure her that I pay attention.

I want her to see me as a responsible parent, (which I am by the way).

On the proceedings side, well, my L ask her L to encourage W to grant me more time with S, because they're postponing the hearing date. No formal response yet.
I aked W if I could see S one more visit/week on Saturdays. No response yet neither.

I assume that by now she must have read my sworn deposition. And regardless of whether she likes it or not, my attitude is detachment. No writing often emails. No long emails either. And when I do write, straight to the point. Only concerning S. And no more "how you're doing", " I hope you're doing fine", "See you later aligator" and "cheers". None of this anymore.

She needs the space to sort out whatever she needs to.
In the meantime, I'm working on being a good dad, changing diapers and all.

So, it's kind of status quo for the moment.
Any ideas on how I should handle the sitch?
Thanx,
B.
