Well that's good. Glad things are ok. And I think you are right not to drop everything and to press for an agreed parenting schedule, so this kind of thing doesn't happen.

Your W will be cross, but just stick to that line. You may want to have a look at HP (H Poirot's thread.) He stopped posting a couple of months ago, but had lots of issues with last minute schedule changes from his W.

I do think you need to carefully gauge the non-response thing - esp. if your W has the kids. Remember you are trying to rebuild some confidence in your reliability and stability. I don't think ignoring loads of calls does that. I agree you shouldn't be endlessly available, and should wait a bit to respond, and not respond to everything. But you don't want to take that too far when you have kids - JMHO.

Have a good day.....:-)
