Kaf, KG, WH, I have spoken to my L who doesn't seem too fussed. Said at this age, kids don't generally get sent against their wishes... but then again, my L has never come up against my stbx before.
I think stbx still has something up his sleeve... for example, today was Thursday, but not a peep out of him about coming to get the kids.
Interestingly, D17 and I went to city to shop and within 10 mins, she spotted him in the store that we always shop in. She looked away and so did he. He seems to be popping up in a lot of places we go these days.
He rang the kids' phones at around 2pm. S14 wouldn't answer, and when D17 did, he just told her it was his brother's 40th birthday today (as if she cared about something like that) and asked her what she was doing. She said she was just going in to work. And that was that.
After all the drama of yesterday, and his insistence on the Wed, Thurs, Fri thing, it all came to nought.
Still, tomorrow is another day, I suppose.
I feel somehow more settled and calm after all the recent turmoil. Whether I have reached saturation point, or am just simply starting to accept that he is awful and not someone I care to be around at all, I'm not sure. But I feel different. I don't miss him anywhere near so much anymore. I even forget what his face really looks like now, too. I have no desire to be near him or to speak to him.
Had fun with D17 and S14 again today. Life is good.
