Sandi2 - Thank you for the 2x4. So for tonight, l am going to let her call me. If she doesn't call me I'm going to ignore her.
The plans for coffee were to go over a long laundry list of items necessary (we are parents, moving house, etc). I tried to stay away from R talk.
The point of "pinky swear" is to avoid talking about R. Just to deal with what we have to deal with and work towards some sort of friendship that will allow us to mutually parent our children.
Honesty wise, she did confuse me with being honest about receiving child support payments for D16 for the last 14 years, and not sharing them with the family. It just left me to pay for everything. So, she is being honest with this is a huge step.
The "Step forward" is establishing some sort of communication. I have a hope, though it is probably wrong that she is wavering. Either way, I want to be able to have a friendly relationship with the Mother of my son.
I think I need to not call or contact her tonight. Let her call me, and if it doesn't happen that is fine. Back to the LRT in full swing.
Getting together is just to build some sort of working relationship and trust. My gut feel is she is wavering, but I need to not screw it up. I really appreciate the advice and perspective here.
