I'm proud of myself. I didn't initiate any text messages or phone calls to yesterday despite the fact that I had no idea where she was going (she wouldn't tell me -- see previous post). Inside, I was very anxious. I know she told her father. If I asked him, he would have told me. I respected her wish to not have me know, so I didn't ask him. But I was still very curious as to WHY she doesn't want me to know.

In the evening, she reached out to me via text.

W: "Are you taking the kids out to dinner"?
Me: "Yes. We are all out having dinner. My parents and my brother came down too."
W: "OK. I will talk to the kids tomorrow. I don't feel like talking to them while your family is there."
Me: "OK"

3.5 hours later, she sends me another text.

W: "I hope our son had a good birthday today. He was really happy with our breakfast date. I am doing well, really relaxing. I will text you tomorrow."
Me: "He had a great birthday and loves the new bike."
Me: "Take care of yourself and stay safe."
