I've felt like there's times she'll include something related to the kids in the text, so it SEEMS to be about them/important, but it's really not.

Watch the video, enjoy it. But you don't owe her a response on it. You can always bring it up next time you interact in person. "Thanks for the video text. I always love seeing the kids" and leave it as that.

Gives her more time to miss you, you time to GAL and PMA and the strength to make continued positive interactions when you do see her.

Rip,
Thanks brother. Your encouragement means a lot this morning, especially because are situations are so similar. My STBX will do the same thing of using the kids as a reason to contact me about something else. I am slightly worried that STBX will come to the conclusion that I don't care about the kids and am a bad father, but I know that's not true.
