WAH, in the thick of divorce (pt 3)

[ep0215]

So a strange/weird thing happened last night, in a good way. I called H on my way to pick up S4 from school to see what time he would be picking him up since I needed to go back to work after to finish up some projects. He suggested I take him to Chik-fil-a and he would meet me there after dinner so that I could head back out. S4 and I ate and he played on the playground and had a great dinner together. When H got there he ordered food and sat down, I was totally prepared to up and sprint out the door as soon as he got there. He sat down and immediately started talking to me about his work and some things that have been going on. We chatted like friends and I told him why I had to go back to work and how busy work had been. I looked at the clock when I left and we had been sitting there talking for 30 minutes! And it wasn’t kid related! I really hope this was a step in the right direction.

Also before I left I told him how I had noticed how involved in wanting to learn about 4 year olds behavior and buying books on the subject and stuff. I let him know I appreciated him doing that and for talking to me about it. His response was “I want him to succeed”. I am not sure what that meant and I didn’t push it any further. He then asked if we could all go to S4’s VPK open house together tonight, I said I would be there. All in all it was a good night and stress free for once.
