Well, tonight may have marked a turning point in H's relationship with S8. H texted wanting to talk with the kids (the littles are at my MIL's tonight, I only have S8) and I told S8 that Daddy wanted to call and talk to him. S8 refused to talk to him. I texted H back telling him that S8 did not want to talk. H texted back that he understood and asked me to tell S8 that he love's him. Of course, I replied (and did, of course). I assume he did call and talk to D4 and S3 at MIL's so that would be good, for them. This may mean nothing, it might just be that S8 is just not in the mood in general but considering that H has only called them once in the last 2 weeks I'm kind of hoping this hits him in the heart as to the reality of what a R, from across the country, and reaching out so infrequently, could look like. I'm hoping it does hit him some and he does not like it. I had NOTHING to do with S8's decision, and even warned S8 against it, telling him he might hurt H's feelings but he did not waver. In the midst of MLC it might mean nothing to H but maybe, somehow, someway, someday he might realize what he is doing and feel bad about it.
