Now he has nixed plans and. is rarely here, how can I do a 180 under these conditions. When we saw each other more,it was very pleasant. But I had the ability to use some skills I am learning since he was in contact. He never calls. I only get short texts.

I have my own life. I write Children's books and I am begining to have some success. The book is out and I am getting excellent turn downs. Editors saying they regret they cannot take my book because they already have a 3 book dealing with middle grade books with animals. I am writing the second book -- trying to. It is laborious. I am looking for a writing group. But, that is not a family.
