Last night, STBX texted me a video of the kids, sent me an Instagram pic of her with D4, and initiated a FaceTime chat last night. For one reason or another, I didn't respond to any of these.
This morning, STBX called as she was driving D4 to school. I asked about the kids. She commented on how she tried to FaceTime with me last night. I replied that I was sorry I missed that but didn't give her an explanation why. STBX told me that D4 hurt her fingers last night and wanted to talk with me. We talked about D4's "injury" and told her I was thankful her mother was a nurse.
We chatted some more about the kids. I was on speakerphone the whole time so I could hear D4 saying that she loves me in the background. STBX remarked that D4 has really been missing me these past few days.
We joked a little bit about an outstanding bill with AT&T and how their customer service is abysmal.
I began to wrap up the call and thanked STBX for calling. I told her that hearing from the kids really brightened my day.
A minute after the call ended, STBX texts me a quote from D4.
"He's a great dad."
Then, STBX asked me if I watched the video she texted me last night.
If anything, it was great to hear that D4 was really missing me and excited to see me. Early on in the separation, D4 was seriously favoring STBX. It makes me feel good to see that all my parenting efforts are paying off.
Anyway, really looking forward to my vacation, time with the kids, and camping trip with D4 on Sunday!
