I'd like to say to H something like 'it is completely your right to communicate with anyone you choose. but in order to move forward with building trust & r with me or daughters, ow would have to be out of the picture, even as friends. Not doing so continues to hurt dds and me.' Then it boils down to his decision - gonna continue to hurt us or gonna stop communication? Then the cynical side of me says, no he'll just hide it better.
Think about this for 48 hours. Then come back and read it again.
Did you talk to your D about how she might handle a situation like that in the future.
Tell your cynical side to take a hike...unless you want to be a cynical person. I missed much of what life has to offer by being cynical and fearful.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
