Let It Go

[BklynMom]

So I sent my ex the following email:

I hope you consider staying near Our Neighborhood when you get your new apartment. The girls love when you go to there school activities which is much easier if you are in the hood. They also love you taking then to birthdays and other events on the weekend.

Originally when you left you indicated that you would come over on occasion and take the girls to school. PleAse know you are welcome to come and see the girls anytime even if it is not on your schedule - they would love to have dinner or go for ice cream with you during the week. I'm sorry if during the divorce process it seemed like I was not amenable to that.

Also I would like to meet Jess at some point since she will play such a big role in the girls lives for a long time. Maybe coffee or just at a pick up

This Is What He wrote back, filled with such lies and distortions:

Yes you have not seemed amenable to things like that. In fact, the last 3 years you reacted completely opposite to that- even to the point of not allowing Wednesday nights. So I need to digest what you wrote here. Including meeting Jess. Just seems totally hot and cold. I really wanted you to at least seem supportive to the girls and that is not what has happened so far.

We are looking outside of Brooklyn. I am not comfortable in Park Slope. But that won't change me being able to do occasional school things or take them to weekend activities when they are with me.

I'm glad you're coming around. I wish you felt this way during the divorce process, that would've saved us both a lot of pain and a lot of money. But I am glad. And appreciative of the friday scenario lately.
