Thanks MtnMan

Just wanted to journal some of the stuff around here.

For 2 1/2 years I havent facilitated my girls calling their father at bedtime or throughout the day. He is welcome to call any time (he calls maybe once a week) and when he does I help the girls engage in conversation. Before he left us we would always do facetime on our iPhones since my xH is very techie but for 2 1/2 years he has never called our home with facetime only voice calls.

Now 2 1/2 years later even my non technical parents do skype or facetime with the kids. hello 2014!

So last night after we spent a half hr on skype with my sister as we were eating dinner, having a blast - I said what the heck lets call Dad. We do a facetime with him and literally he is on with his daughters for 3 minutes. It was so lame. He was still at work and had to get back. His work is his alcohol.

"I have to work" sounds noble and legit but its really a place for him to hide.

I really don't want this man back as my husband but I really want him to grow up for the sake of our perfect girls. He is such a half-a$$ Dad
