Mona, I am really proud of you. I know you well enough now to know that it took (and is probably still taking) everything you have not to rush in and save H. Don't. I agree with job. He used every excuse in the book NOT to get the kids for Christmas. He needs to feel ashamed if he didn't even bother to think about saving a few extra dollars to remember his kids on Christmas. You don't have to spend a lot just to let someone know you were thinking about them. Bad dad! Bad!
Congrats on the evaluation! I'm happy that you're excited about your goals.
One more time - do not give in to the impulse to save H. You're really good at that. He needs to grow up.
PS: What show are you watching? I need some laughs.
