Alpha - rollercoasting #3

[alpha99]

W has just called me. I probably should have ignored it but I did answer.

Anyway, the purpose of her call was to say she has been thinking about my email and our conversation before (and I would imagine discussing it with her parents). She says she doesn't trust me alone with the children but would like to go out on Tuesday to take the children to the cinema together and then again maybe on Friday. Whilst we're out we are going to discuss parenting arrangements for the future (in a week or two's time were her words) once she is confident that I am not a 'danger' to the kids. She admitted again that I am an excellent father, she would never deprive me of seeing the kids, the kids love me as much as they do her. I 'agreed' with her comments and she was less frosty on the phone. Only once when I paused momentarily did she say, 'oh you're always the same, I speak and just get nothing back'. That's not been the case in our R previously, I was just trying to think of a way to validate something she had said quickly.

Anyway, a result! Two family events planned for this week, time with the kids, and a chance to show off the work I have done on myself so far.
