Good morning from a sunny UK.

More drama this week but 90% of it is in my reactions. On Tuesday I got a message from XW asking if I was overseas as she had been taken to hospital.

I was but am not sure how she knew this??? Anyway I was on my way back and so told her what time I'd be home and offered any support she needed. I got a short response about 4 hours later saying she was home and the kids were safe.

Ive heard nothing from her since though have the texted once each day to offer well wishes and see if she needs anything. The kids nursery said she was still unwell on Thursday. Anyway I think the silence is a pretty clear message. I do hope she is better and its nothing serious.

D4 has continued to talk about OM1's flat and 'mummy kissing him' which is always unpleasant to hear about, but again reaffirms where I am in my situation.

I also found out some stuff yesterday about D4s induction for starting school which my XW has known about for a while but not mentioned. I'll admit I'm annoyed by this just as I was when She gave me permission to be involved on D4s first day of school. It's feels like she doesn't feel she has to communicate with me at all except when she wants me to do something for her. I wonder if I should be doing something different but then remember patientmans posts about conducting yourself how you wish to be regardless of the reaction you get.

So away from my situation I've just been really busy with work but I'm making progress on a lot of things which always feels good, I've also started tackling some of the HR things I've been avoiding - not fun but needs doing.

I've got the kids this weekend and we've got quite a few things planned so come Sunday night I would expect to be shattered.

So overall nothings changed but I'm feeling a bit worn down by it all at the moment, but at the same time I'm actually OK.

Have a nice weekend
