Serve the servants: Wayward Wife & LRT (7)

[Defacto]

Mvg,
I have no idea what motivated STBX's TM. I can only focus on my happiness right now.

Toots,
Thanks for the support! You are absolutely right. STBX knows good and well what my stance is. I only lessen the impact by repeating it. I actually feel good about where I am right now. I know it's true when I say that I will be fine either way. If STBX ever wakes up, she knows where to find me.

Journaling:
I just got back from the pool and plopped down on the couch to watch a movie. STBX calls. I ignore it. She then sends a TM that says she is outside my house because D4 wanted to see me.

As I step outside my front door, D4 comes running toward me, wishing me a happy Father's Day. I gobble her up and squeeze her tight. They all come inside for a few minutes and D4 gave me half of my Father's Day gift. D4 asks if she can spend the night with me tonight. I smile and say that she can't tonight because daddy has plans.

During the unexpected visit, STBX put her hand on my knee for a few minutes while sitting on the couch and she initiated two hugs to tell me happy Father's Day and that I'm a great father. Of course, I employed Sandi's advice of returning the hug like you are hugging your grandma.

I will never complain about a visit with my kids even if it is unexpected or unannounced.
