Reaching out for support and advice 3

[bluesgal]

H texted me for the first time in 5 days. He has not contacted me or the kids at all. Said he's been very ill and apologized for not being in contact.

I have been doing really well on my own. I've been out with friends/family a lot and have been organizing the whole house. I have let my H go and feel a sense of peace with this.

He wants to see the kids tomorrow so I'll be curious to see how that goes. D15 broke down on Friday night b/c she missed her dad so much. S6 has been asking about him less and less.

H reliability has become so poor that I have been double booking his commitments. Meaning that when he has agreed to pick up the kids or go to a school function, one of the grandparents have always been on stand by in case he's a no show. He has no idea that I do this b/c he has no idea how unreliable has become. His memory is very poor now.

I've been tracking the amount of time H spends with the kids. This week: 1 1/2 hours with S and 35 min with D. This includes drive time to school. Last Feb when we were in Mexico, we emailed our kids every day and agreed that we'd purchase a tablet so we could skype our kids on our next vacation b/c he missed them so much. Who is this strange man?
