Newbie needing support and advice

[ep0215]

Well before I could text back he called me all up in arms about me telling him he was only getting S4 two nights this week. I very calmly apologized for him reading my text that way but no the regular schedule still stands. He apologized for misinterpreting the TM and calmed down. Even though it wasn't the best convo of the day it was a change in communication. & behavior.
I set a boundary about a month ago that I did not want to communicate via text because he never reads my tone right, phone only. I am proud of him for calling me instead of continuing to spew at me.

Good thing? Maybe what I am doing is slowly working?

Next goal is going to be to somehow get him to call and talk to his son when he goes 4 days without seeing him! Maybe I need to just ask him to do that?
