I am not really trying to show her understanding and niceness. I am being civil and only talk to her about our daughter unless she contacts me which is usually by text. Hope I did not make you misunderstand that sandi. This weekend I send her texts of updates on our daughters softball games. She text me back thank you after the first text then ok after the others. She told me during the summer she would like for me to text her updates. Honestly, I really don't care because she needs to wonder what she is missing but if I don't the resentment with increase. I give her very basic information. She is missing out on so much of our daughters lives.... Important parts of their lives. I agree with you that she has to be willing to let go of the anger and bitterness. I believe that there is nothing to great for God so for right now I am trying to take care of myself and younger daughter.
