Observing what XH is doing... trying not to let it affect me too much. Posting here lets me get it out of my head.
He texted both kids on Fri to wish D17 the best for her valedictory dinner.
This was the event that he tried to bring OW to - but D17 intervened and asked the school to block him. He didn't mention the whole shemozzle to us.
Anyway, he texted her and S15 with things like: "miss you. love you. kisses and have a good time tonight."
Next morning came lots of texts asking how it all went. D17 did not reply.
Kids and I went horse riding and had a great time (although S15 has mashed his groinal region!. As a woman, I didn't think about this, and didn't have any advice to offer beforehand.)
About 8pm on Saturday night, XH rings the home phone and asks to speak to the kids (how I wish we'd been out!). He's never rung on a Saturday night before.
He wants to know about the horse riding that he was asked to come along to.
Says he's ringing to make sure that the dinner next Thursday evening is still on.
Asks about the valedictory dinner. Wants all the details of what we have been doing.
Just trying to let it roll over me and stay off the hamster wheel.
I hope that once I've got it down here, I can let it go.
Beautiful day today, gardening and parent care in front of me.
