Hey OTW,

I replied to W and then read your reply after. Bad timing? I just said it was not cool that she disrespected me in the ways mentioned above, my parenting, not talking about the house to me first and blaming me for child's cavities.

I also gave an update about my lawyer then I validated her that she said that she will do great at her work project.

She replied back saying that she takes it all back she know that I am a good parent and the cavities are not my fault and that she was just giving her parents info and not making decisions with out me.

I didn't reply to that.

Later she texts she is not going to her weekly weight loss meeting and what to do about dinner. Well she was going to be out late and I normally take kids skating so told her that and invited her if she wanted to come. She agreed and said we could go out for dinner after.

So that all happens. It was fun and good family time.

Last night after kids were in bed, she calls me over and said that she will be bringing the kids to her cousins house on Sat for a quick Easter dinner. That was her wording. I guess to make it less painful for me. The she wanted us to do something with the kids on Sunday together. I mentioned a local Easter egg hunt that they could go to. ( I try to look for things to do with the kids so that I have ideas when W asks. I don't want to ever say I don't know what do you want to do) So that's good we will be doing that.

Then today It hits me that we are going to loose all that soon. All this family time together. And I get really sad about it. I am better now, but those highs get you so high that the fall down is very hard.

Worth it for sure as it will be great memories for the kids.
